Xampplite, Joomla and a "Restricted Access" Messag
Posted: 31. August 2006 01:24
ello,
I have been working with my Joomla site on a remote server with no issues for several weeks, but in order to experiment a little more freely and to conserve bandwidth I decided to use Xampplite to run my Joomla site locally. I followed the Xampplite instructions, and new have my Joomla files, along with the Joomla installation directory, located on "c:\xampplite\htdocs\MyDir\" which translates to "http://localhost/MyDir". That much is working, as the site is redirected to the http://localhost/MyDir/installation/index.php as expected. It is then that I get a "Restricted Access" message, and no more.
I have not yet done anything to 'secure' the site as recommended by XAMPP, so it's not anything to do with that.
Thanks for your help!
