Hi!

I get the following message when I tray to install Geeklog.

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/install/ on this server.

I have full access to the server and I can access mysql database using mysqladmin.

I tried the same process on another server and every thing works just fine.
Is that possible that my ISP provider, has some restrictions for me administrating my site?

What is my options?

Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers

It's possible that your hosting service already uses an "admin" directory for some special purpose. Try renaming Geeklog's admin directory to something else (e.g. "myadmin") and do the same in config.php (see $_CONF['site_admin_url']). Then call the install script on the new URL.

bye, Dirk

Thanks Dirk, but I still have the same problem.

You may need to CHMOD your /admin and admin/install directories to (664)
If you wish to taste the ground feel free to attack me.

Thanks everyone with your replays.
The problem is solved by typing the right URL. I admit that I was tired enough to remember how to write a correct URL.
I only wrote www.mydomain/myadmin/install insted of
www.mydomain/myadmin/install/install.php.
If someone else get same problem as me, the answer is sleeping enough to think clearly.

Sorry boyhering U.
