    Help!

    I’ve installed the latest version of wordpress, downloaded FileZilla, and supposedly uploaded the unzipped files,but now I am getting the following error message when I go to http://macclesfieldyfc.co.uk/wp-admin/install.php

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

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    Can anyone help? If so, please can you explain it is VERY simple terms, I’m used to editing wordpress websites in the dashboard, but this is completely new – and very scary!!!!

    You’re domain is accessible. I’d start by looking at the files/ folders ownerships and permissions. When I visit the main domain, I get a 403 error as well. It looks as if the doc root for the domain is set to an incorrect permission or ownership. You may want to contact your hosting provider.
