    Help with installing phpBB 3

    So i have it on my site in all the right folders, and have followed all of the instructions up to 1.26. It gets up to the advanced settings page, i fill it all in so it's correct, and hit 'Next', and it comes up with this:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /phpBB3/install/index.php on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Any ideas how to fix this? :/ It does the rest of the options fine, just the last bit. What should the permission settings be? I think they are right, but might be wrong.

    Try finding the index.php files in question on the server and updated the permissions to 777.

    HAve you also got a htaccess.txt file in your root folder?
