Support » Installing WordPress » 403 You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server.

    I was in the process of moving my blog files to a new server. I set up the new database, installed, even got an email congratulating me on a successful install. However, when I go to http://www.example.com/wp-admin, I get 403 You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server.

    The host does not support wordpress, so I had to do everything manually, following the codex and instructions step by step.

    I saw in other support posts that I should create a .htaccess file (per http://wordpress.org/support/topic/132667?replies=30#post-610645 )

    This is slightly older information and I wanted to check to make sure this was still the recommended route.

    ok I added an .htaccess and it’s still not working.

    So, while waiting for forum help I chatted with my hosting company.

    They updated the .htaccess file to say:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </IfModule>
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    Thanks ALL!
