You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/admin.php
February 06, 2015, 09:11:48 am
Hello, all. I have installed CiviCRM 4.5.6 on Wordpress 4.1, as administrator, and on the dashboard I get this message:

Forbidden

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

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

However, if I click on the "full screen" icon in the upper right-hand corner of each box, I see the data just fine.

I have checked the permissions on both file and directory, and both seem fine.

I appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer.

Can you click the "refresh dashboard data" button?
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

I do have a "Refresh Dashboard Data" button, but when I click on it, I get exactly the same messages.

Are you using the same URL as your civicrm.settings.php file has? I mean specifically that both have or do not have www in front.

Nope, no www. anywhere--the site doesn't use it.

You wrote

Code: [Select]
You don't have permission to access /wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php on this server.
Is that correct? Or should it be just /wp-admin/admin.php? Is your install in /wordpress?

It is in \wordpress\wp-content\plugins\civicrm

Does that help?

Is your server Windows or Linux?

@oshma It looks to me like you're setting a custom location for your 'wp-content' directory or WP files in general. I take it your 'index.php' script is in root and you're telling it that WordPress is located in the 'wordpress' directory? Like this:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

The simple answer is... don't :( CiviCRM has a whole stack of hard-coded paths for WordPress and will fail in unexpected ways if you do anything even remotely out-of-the-ordinary. I am hoping to address this as part of the process described here:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,35647.msg152404.html

Unfortunately that doesn't help your current situation.
