Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing permalink structureHi there,
There are a couple of things that could be causing this. First, does your server have permission to write to the .htaccess file? If not, WordPress will give you an error at the bottom of the permalinks page when you try to save changes.
If that isn’t the issue, the server configuration might need to be modified. The config file is most likely located in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/
There should be a section that looks something like this (yours might be a bit different):
<Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
The ‘AllowOverride’ parameter should be changed from ‘None’ to ‘All’. This will allow your .htaccess file to take effect.
This solution worked for me before. Let me know if it works for you.

In reply to: 403 Forbidden with correct file permissionsHi there,
I set up a WordPress installation with the settings you described above and I get a 403 error as well. Adding the following line between the Directory tags in the website’s config file seems to do the trick.
Require all granted
Let me know if it works for you. Good luck!

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: where is the wp-admin page and how do I get to it?To get to the wp-admin page, you simply put /wp-admin after your site’s host name. If you’re running a local installation, that host name could be your local IP address, or as mentioned above it could be “localhost”
If you try to visit “localhost/wp-admin” or “localhost:80/wp-admin” what is the result?
