Problem after installation

Post by Math »

Hello,

I'm facing with a problem after setup my connection to the database. I'm able to acces to the dashboard with my admin credential but when I try to access to any other buton on the left menu, I get an error "Forbidden - You do not have permission to access this document".

I guess that's an access right problem on my webserver but I don't know which folder must be chmod.

Can someone help me to solve it ?

My configuration is on on Apache webserver + Mysql

Hi,

4.0.16

By the way, I realized that when I clic on Administration link (in the top right corner), it open the page with this address
if I add
index.php
then I can access to the administration panel.

Is it related to the url rewriting ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

that's strange, looks like something with your main Apache configuration is not correct as this error is directly from Apache.
