I used fantastico to intall my wordpress, and usually without a problem, it's about the 4th time I've used it.
Now on this occasion it's coming up with this on the dashboard
"You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/index-extra.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at http://www.twisted-solutions.co.uk Port 80."
Please can anybody help me resolve this issue. Thanks.

I have followed that, and it has not helped.
Any ideas?

Have you checked the permissions on your wp-admin directory?

I thought about that, but then decided I wouldn't actually know what they were meant to be... currently they are:
755
should they be 777?
No, 755 should be fine for the wp-admin folder.
Are you sure you placed the 2 line htaccess mentioned in the linked thread in the wp-admin folder and not somewhere else?

yeah, I admit that firstly I named it wrong, then secondly I placed it in /wp-admin. But now it is in public_html
Am I just doing this all wrong??!
Yes. All wrong. Name it correctly and place it in the wp-admin - that's what they say in the other thread! Don't reinvent the wheel...
EDIT. p.s. the public_html should have it's own htaccess if your WP is installed there and you use nice permalinks. Don't mix the two files!

What should be in the htaccess in the public html then seeing as I've distroyed it...?

and no, that didn't work either... grrr!

If I create a file in notepad and save it as 'all files' called '.htaccess.' - It doesn't work...
If I create a text file and upload it .txt then rename it '.htaccess' It doesn't work...
I really don't understand...!
Since you are not using the nice permalink - there should NOT be any .htaccess file in your root folder (public_html).
So, what do you have in the .htaccess file in your wp-admin/ folder?
Is the file named correctly? Notice the . [dot] at the beginning!
.htaccess

Moshu, I appreciate your patience... even though I'm starting to loose mine!
I no longer have a .htaccess in the root folder. I manually added one, now I have deleted it.
Now in wordpress admin I have .htaccess file named .htaccess
- in that is this:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>Pleeeease can you spot where I am going wrong. I'll even upload a picture of my FTP and notepad and everything if it would help?!
What you described above and the code in the file seem to be the right thing. Now it is my turn to get confused why it doesn't work...
(on one server I also had this issue but it was solved easily applying that fix)

If the left side is your host server - it seems to be in the right place.

this is the error I now get in the sidebar 'latest activity' and where the wordpress updates go, and if I try to edit/delete anything like comments, or add categories.
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@twisted-solutions.co.uk and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

If I take everything out of the htaccess file, the original error comes up:
Forbidden

By the way, this happened on another test blog I set up for my boyfriend this evening too... I used fantastico to install it... I don't think I could provide ANY other information. Except I currently use an older version on my other domain and that works perfectly.
We will need some more knowledgeable helpers here... that know more about .htaccess and the error logs mentioned in the error message.
Let's hope they will come around.

Hmmm... If somebody tells me how to access the error logs I will give em a look over... is it in the cpanel?

As you read deeper into it, you'll see some other .htaccess options you might try.

Thank you very much handysolo, it seems that
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>
fixed it, where It wasn't working yesterday though and I only pasted it in one more time before I gave up... Confused.
Thank you everyone. Your help is appreciated.

Hello,
I had a problem very much related to this. I was following the threads keenly especially from Moshi and linked threads.
I must really appreciate the help. The fixes worked like a charm for me.
Thanks.
