    I am trying to install. Fedora 39 Linux. Latest WordPress. https://localhost works, https://localhost/wordpress fails:

    Unauthorized

    This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.

    httpd logs show: XXX [auth_basic:error] XXX AH01618: user mac not found: /wordpress/

    A common reason for this is the wordpress/ folder and/or file permissions are incorrect. Usually 644/755 are correct for most installations, but sometimes 664/775 are required. For reliable operation, the folder/file owner should be the user that PHP runs under. This is often www-data, but YMMV.

    Another reason sometimes encountered is firewall settings are preventing proper access, provided you are running a firewall in the first place. Local Linux installs sometimes don’t use firewalls. Similarly, modSecurity configuration may nee adjustment, but this module is rarely used on local installations.
