Tell us what local host you are using and where you are seeing the permissions problems.
For example, are you on MAMP, did you install it on your own Linux machine, with Ubuntu, or Bitnami… What system are you one?
Where are you seeing the permissions problem: when you try to upload a plugin, theme, install the config file…
Hi, I am using WAMP have followed installation instructions for that and then when it came to the point where I was to log in to wordpress to begin to develop it, it said I did not have sufficient permissions. I may not have installed the config file properly possibly? There are no themes or plugins I have not got to that point yet.
Thanks for your help!
I’ve never used WAMP, only MAMP, and I’ve had lots of issues with installing local environments on Linux Ubuntu.
It would help to give as much information as possible so that others can help.
For example, did you get to the screen where you add the information about the database and database user/password so that the config can be created – then at that point did WordPress tell you that it can’t reach the config file and tell you to copy and paste the code into the config? Did you reach domain/wp-login.php page? Instead, were you having issues logging in?
What is your operating system? Are you on a Windows7, 8 or XP system?
The more specific you are, the greater the chances that someone can help you. Here’s more information about permissions and WordPress.
