    The installation seemed to go through successfully, and I received the email saying “Your new WordPress blog has been successfully set up at:”

    When I click the link to go to my new blog I get the following error:

    Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /myblog/ on this server.

    I thought it might be the permissions setting so I changed the main folder my blog is in to 777. That didn’t work. I looked through the forum, but didn’t find anyone with the same issue. Any suggestions?

    blogted,

    Were you able to figure it out? I haven’t had any luck. Any help is most appreciated.

    why not ask your host since it was their script you used to install it?

    Thrise – nope.
    samboll – I don’t know about Thrise, but I did not use any script from my host. I followed the instructions from the wordpress installation documents: I uploaded the wordpress files with Filezilla to a mymain.com/wp directory. I went to mymain.com/wp/wp-admin/install.php page, filled in the two fields of the 5-minute install process, then went to mymain.com/wp/wp-admin/(default page I guess). Result: 403 Forbidden. Same result at mymain.com/wp.

    I didn’t use a script from my host either. Same deal as blogted. In fact the install said it went fine, but I just can’t do anything from there.

    It seems that default page (index page) is not set in web server. Can you access your website using yourwebsite.com/blog/index.php ?

    Progress! Using yourwebsite.com/blog/index.php gives a new error message indicating a different problem (with the database connection) but that’s off-topic here. Also, I suppose the default page setting is a web host issue, not a wordpress issue. Thanks, Kailash1. Good luck, Thrise!

    When I enter yourwebsite.com/blog/index.php into my browser it automatically redirects to yourwebsite.com/blog/ and I receive the same error message. Any ideas?
