I just installed WAMP Today and Uploaded my files into http://localhost/upload directory.

Then when I tried going to http://localhost/upload/install/index.php

This is what happens. http://speedcap.net/sharing/screen.php?i...65ecb6.png

Any solution? IDK why it happens.

Any help please.

www is your web serving root folder. upload files to wamp/www/mybb folder (= http://localhost/mybb)

I am sure that files can be upload to WWW folder as well. Anyways, I uploaded it to www/upload but still the same.

check if this has any clue for the forbidden access issue

I'll give it a try.

You could always use Xampp

I don't know how it works on WAMP but on xampp you put your mybb files into C:\xampp\htdocs\mybb\ and then go to http://localhost/mybb/install and it works. Maybe you need to local the htdocs directory.

On wamp, you stick your files into C:\wamp\www\whatever, then go to http://localhost/whatever/install.

You wouldn't happen to have any stray .htaccess files would you? You might want to try a fresh download, perhaps something got corrupted.

I have already got it to work, ages ago.
