403 access forbidden on install [localhost]

Hi.

I spent the last 24hs trying to install a new, fresh WP on a local machine.

I can get to the first step of the installation (DB name, db user, pass, etc). But im getting “Access forbidden! / Error 403” with step two (wp-admin/install.php). Note that this is not my first time, i worked with WP for years, and until now, i never had a problem installing WP.

I have OS X Mountain Lion + XAAMP 1.8.3 and have all my projects @ /Users/fede/Sites/ . I’m doing all the things i do normally:

– Add a virtualhost in Applications/XAAMP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mycurrentproject.dev
    DocumentRoot /Users/fede/Sites/mycurrentproject
    <Directory /Users/fede/Sites/mycurrentproject >
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

– Add a line to private/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 mycurrentproject.dev

– Create a DB with phpmyadmin

– Start Apache / MySQL

– Point the browser to mycurrentproject.dev

And here is what error_log says:

[Sat Nov 08 17:14:59.749114 2014] [access_compat:error] [pid 51309] [client 127.0.0.1:54236] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /Users/fede/Sites/mycurrentproject/wp-admin/install.php

My last WP project installed fine one month ago, and i did not updated/changed anything since then. Hope anyone can help me.
