# 403 on installation

 * I managed to get everything running when I installed it on my webhost, but when
   I try to install WP on different host (School’s server), it gives me 403 error
   during /wp-admin/install.php (Access to the URL that you requested is forbidden.)
   
   What should I do to get around with it? Thank you.

 * Check via ftp that no .htaccess is restricting acces to the folder. (It can be
   at one level above the folder containing the blog…. or inside it, or inside wp-
   admin).

 * There’s actually no .htaccess configured yet.
