Can't implement CakePHP

PHP
1

I downloaded the CakePHP zip file to my hard drive, unzipped the files, and then uploaded the files (which took hours) to the host of my web site.

I receive the following error message:

Error 403 - Forbidden

Has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks for your help! – John.

Hi megadutch, welcome to the forums,

I only tried it a little on my localhost a while back, not live. But the “forbidden” error suggests you may have the permissions set inadequately. i.e. the 755 rwxrw-rw- stuff, for an important folder/file.

Check the CakePHP documentation regarding “permissions” and then look at your FTP programs “properties” settings for those folders/files.

It took hours to upload?
