Client denied by server configuration

Hello,

I am getting the following error client denied by server configuration: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/.DS_Store when trying to install Gibbon on Mac using MAMP in the apache log. I just place the Gibbon unzipped folder in the htdocs folder and run localhost:8888/gibbon fin the browser. I though it could be an Apache configuration error but I could easily install wordpress for example but not Gibbon. I am using the last version of Gibbon 16 and MAMP 5.2. Is anyone having a clue what the problem could be? Thank you!

Hi lucacimo,

Hmmm odd, .DS_Store` is a Mac system file and not actually part of Gibbon. Is your Gibbon install located in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/gibbon ? Did it give you the error immediately, or at some step during install? Any other errors in the PHP error log?

Hello Sandra,

thank you for your help. Yes, Gibbon install is located in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/gibbon and when I access it from the browser I get that error immediately in the first step of the installation process. No errors in the php log but just some warnings.
