WordPress MU

Hi all,

I followed the instruction step by step, after I finished and getting the congratulation page. The congratulation page gave me admin uid and pwd ans link to log-in. When I try to log-in I got the 403 Access forbidden error. I navigated the whole forum for such solution but could not find any.

**Hereunder my VHost settings

<VirtualHost 192.168.XXX.XXX>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/blog
ServerName ourdomain.com
ServerAlias *.ourdomain.com
ServerAdmin myname@ourdomain.com
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/WPMU>
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

** My .htaccess content

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

php_flag register_globals 0
php_flag display_errors 0

------------------------------
I have a dedicated IP for the WPMU and created a virtual directory as shown. I chmod the .htaccess to 666 as suggested by some posts in this form.

Please help.
I have other PHP-MySQL installations which work perfectly like wikimedia, phpmyadmin and sugar crm

Check the permissions on the files in the index folder, as well as the folder permissions.

I have the same error.
What should we do?

What should be the permissions in the root folder?

I deleted the .htaccess and it is working fine while it is able to create bog.mydmoani.com blog addresses. The problem is I do not know what are the other impact on what I did !!!

unfortunately, now any virtual sub-directory is not working. Any help?

Read the readme.txt, make sure you follow all the steps. You *need* an htaccess file for it all to work properly.

I got the following error lines from Apache log file:

Options FollowSymlinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /srv/www/htdocs/blog

Any advice now?

I solve it.....

I added the following line to the Direcotry directive

Options +FollowSymLinks

Thanks for anyone who tried to help

Dear all,

Reading the readme file and looking at the suggestions made in the debugging script would be a start. (ie provide a link, check the error logs for the specific error, not copying code unless asked for, etc.)

I had the same problem with 403 Access forbidden error:
Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this document.

However, I found an easy fix - I just added to .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

DirectoryIndex index.php

It all works now.
Hope that helps.

Just to say that the ahmsme solution of adding "Options +FollowSymLinks" worked for me.

Thanks all!
