Question
Forbidden! You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/install.php on this server.
I have installed WordPress on Ubuntu 14.04 running apache, I have two subdomains running and were installed by somebody else.
I followed the tutorials to create a new subdomain on the same droplet as the others , but I cannot setup WordPress. I keep getting 403 error
You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/install.php on this server.
