 * I am having a problem using WordPress after the installation. I set up the database,
   edit wp-config.php file and upload everything to server. I go to url.com/wp-admin/
   install.php, fill in name and email when asked. Once I get the random password
   I go to login and immediately get a **Server Error 403 Forbidden: Access Denied
   Screen**.
 * I figured it was something on the server end but I have been back and forth with
   the web host several times now and they claim it isn’t their problem. They suggested
   that perhaps I am missing necessary files needed for it to run properly but I
   have dumped the unzipped wordpress download onto my server and am certain that
   everything that is suppose to be there is.
 * Perhaps it is me making a mistake I don’t know but I have double and triple checked
   myself every step of the way several times and still get the same outcome.
 * If someone else has had this problem I would appreciate any input.
 * Thanks.
