• Hello,
    I’m using MacBooksPro with MAC and Windows 10 via Parallels Desktop (virtual machine).
    I do have Apache installed on MAC and it’s working well and I created websites using PHP (without WordPress) and uploaded it on web and it was working with no problem.
    Now, I installed the latest DesktopServer on Win 10 and created http://www.example.dev site but I’m getting the error message as below when I’m clicking on a link on DesktopServer to open the install.php.
    —————
    Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/install.php on this server.
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/2.4.12 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1l PHP/5.5.24 Server at http://www.example.dev Port 80
    ———————-
    I did stop “World Wide Web Publishing Service”. I did stop SSRS before the DesktopServer installation as it used port 80 and it wasn’t allow to install DesktopServer.

    The netstat shows that port 80 used by PID 2552 only that is httpd.exe
    netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0.0.0:80 shows
    TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2552

    I did change httpd.config to use port 8080 and changing the first <Directory> option into
    <Directory “C:/Websites/”>
    #Options Indexes MultiViews
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    </Directory>
    I did restart the DesktopServer but the localhost is still on port 80 and it didn’t help to open the install.php or http://www.example.dev anyway.

    I could see from the Internet that it could be a very common problem as many people asking about the same error. The answered posts didn’t help me. There are also many with no-reply similar questions.
    While I wouldn’t like to disable everything on my computer please advise what else I could do to make it work. Or I could try to install Apache and then to download WordPress giving up on DesktopServer.

    Thanks
