 * Hi,
 * So I have just installed WP on my customers website. I have followed all the 
   proper steps to install, fix the config and set it up. I’ve followed all the 
   proper steps and when I get re-directed to the login, and login, it tells me
 * >  Forbidden
   > You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server.
 * Whats the dealio!?
 * Thanks
 * Greg

 * Greg,
 * Check permissions of your files and folders. Folders should have 755 permissions
   and files 644. If it’s fine, contact your hosting support and ask to disable 
   suhosin and mod_security.
