title: How to get rid of 403 Forbidden error on WordPress root folder on MAMP server
body: <p>I have had major problems installing MAMP. </p>
  
  <p>It installed without any problems, and I can get to the MAMP welcome page, phpMyAdmin page, and everything else at <code>http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I can also access a static test page in a test folder in the document root (<code>/Users/username/Hosting/test/test.html</code>). </p>
  
  <p>However, when I try to access anything in the WordPress Document root that I imported from my live site (<code>/Users/username/Hosting/wordpress</code>) I get a 403 Forbidden error.</p>
  
  <p>I checked the apache error log, and this is what is showing up when I try and access anything in the WordPress folder: </p>
  
  <p><code>[Fri May 03 08:59:10 2013] [error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: /Users/reae/Hosting/wordpress/wp-admin</code>     </p>
  
  <p>I am on day 2 trying to work this out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MAMP multiple times, and tried everything that I can think of to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
