[Solved]: 403 error on install

[kenno]

hi

i've uploaded all the files and doing the install bit, fill in all the details, mysql host, username, etc click on 'Lets Go' and then get a 403 error.

cpg 1.2.2, MySQL 3.23.54 ?? and apache 1.3
any thoughts greatly appreciated

thanks

detailed error message and link? Error 403 means "forbidden" - you haven't set permissions appropriately, the script can't access certain files. CHMOD correctly.

well i get the error attached, the mode on the install.php is 755, although i've tried with 777 and still the same.

which certain files need to have access on them ?

cheers

Try renaming the install.php file so it doesn't have 'install' (or config) in it, and see if you can browse to it then.

ok, tried that and it did exactly the same thing

i've checked the permissions on include, and everything in it, tried with 777 and still the same

i can get the install.php up in the browser, it's only when i submit it that it errors.

thanks

are you on a subdomain? Your url is not web-maina.com as far as I can see, so please do as suggested and post your url...
My guess is improper setup of server environment vars that point to the wrong path.

sorry, not sure what you mean.

http://server3.web-mania.com/users/kenfradd/coppermine/install.php

is that what you're after ?

cheers

yes, that's what I've been looking for. The fact that the install script still can be accessed could mean that you haven't CHMODed the include dir as suggested in the readme. Another thing that may be possible is that your webhost has disabled the post method (the form just tries to <form action="install.php" method="post">). As far as I can see your webhost is the only place you could turn to for help - -sorry.

>For accessing coppermine you are using the temperory URL of web-mania which is http://server3.web->mania.com/users/kenfradd/coppermine/install.php. No all the rights are available to you when you are accessing your website >through temperory URL.
