WAMP:You don't have permission to access /wordpress/wp-login.php on this server.

    Installed latest version of WAMP 2.5 and WP 4.0 in www root on Win 2008 R2 64 bit. Created database through myphpadmin. Everything is working fine on the server. Want this to be production server (intranet).
    When I try to access from my local PC I receive “You don’t have permission to access /wordpress/wp-login.php on this server”. I can try just https://servername/wordpress/index.php, same error. I have checked permissions, seems correct. I know I need to make changes on server, and I have googled and tried every resource that seems to pertaining to my install. Made changes as suggested in some posts but still receive same error.
    I know that on the install MySQL and wp-config.php the username is: root and password ().. which needs to be changed, but can someone give me the proper file changes to use this as our production environment? I would really appreciate any help I can get.

    Thanks!

  • Hi @galder56,

    I don’t think this issue has anything to do with MySQL. If it did you would be receiving a database connection error.

    I’m not a huge server expert but apart from permissions being an issue, ownership is also a problem. So far this issue has only happened to me with uploads, not a site as a whole, but perhaps it’s worth a shot. Take a look at an article I wrote for more info. You can apply the same logic to your whole installation.

    You can also try using XAMPP or MAMP or Vagrant as alternative servers, perhaps these would work out of the box.

    Thanks for your input. I will read your link and try permission changes. If doesn’t work, Maybe XAMPP, since we do not use MACs.

    Cheers.
