I get a 403 error on wp-login.php. Do you have a security plugin installed? What are the permissions on that file? You can check via your hosting control panel or FTP.
What’s in your .htacccess file?
I didn´t install any security plugin. But I cannot find a wp-login.php. In which directory is thisschould this file be??
wp-login.php is in the root of your wordpress site.
.htaccess has rights -rw-r
wp-login.php ist empty (o KB)!!!
That’s a problem!
Download a fresh copy of wordpress from wordpress.org. Unzip it onto your PC and upload all files and directories, replacing what’s on your server.
Thank you. Hope this works. You are a great help!

That was an error. wp-login has 37760 Bytes, but I cannot transfer it to my PC because of access rights. Thus I don´t know its content….
Same applies to .htaccess. I cannot look into it.

IF you don’t have access, then you need to contact your host to fix the permissions and/or ownership on your files.
I have now access to all files of WordPress.
.htaccess has only two entries:
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
wp-admin/index.php apparently deals with the dashboard, which, however ist not loaded. Which module loads the login screen? This is the very first screen to be displayed and it doesn´t show up. So I think, there ist a problem in the first module that ist called by the address line (www.egotrip.de/wp-admin/index.php??)

I cannot erase/rename the old .htaccess file and – thus – upload the changed .htaccess file, although I can upload and delete any other file, e.g. “dothtaccess”.
The access rights are “333”, but it seems as if even the owner cannot change the .htaccess file. Is it a system file and – if yes – how can I change it.
As already mentioned: the installed .htaccess file contains only the “BEGIN” and “END” lines.

The first statement in wp-admin/index.php ist:
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/admin.php’ );
I inserted a test output (“hallo world”) before this statement and it worked. But when I shifted this output on the position after the “require” statement, the error message “access denied” showed up. The error seems to occur in this statement. Where can I find it?
I went with my “test outputs” through wp-admin/admin.php. The error occurs in this function:
auth_redirect();
I cannot find this function in the code

Contact your host about the permissions on .htaccess.
