trouble installing my wordpress

    Hi, I’ve locally installed a wordpress on my laptop. Last week I decided to put it live. However, I’m having some weird issues.

    I have a domain [ redundant link deleted ]. There is a wordpress installed here. However, I would like there to be a separate website installed at anamma. be/springplank (if possible NOT at springplank. anamma. be). I’ve installed everything in a subfolder on anamma. be via file transfer. I wonder if it’s possible that the two wordpress sites are somehow clashing? At anamma .be we have custom urls. Each new post has the url anamma .be/new-post. 

    Is it at all possible to have a different website altogether installed at anamma. be/springplank when there is already a wordpress installed at anamma. be?

    Furthermore, these are the issues I’m having at springplank.
    – When I try to log in at springplank. anamma. be/wp-admin I get the 403 error message “Forbidden You don’t have permission to access this resource.”

    – I also get this error message when I try to view anamma. be/springplank. be

    – Strangely, I can log in at /springplank/wp-admin

    – I CAN reach springplank. anamma.be

    – I’ve also recently made a new page and I’ve noticed in the url it mentions the index.php file. WordPress doesn’t normally do this, does it? 

    I would very much appreciate any and all help, thank you so much.

    Ps. I’ve already reset my .htaccess file a few times, but sadly this doesn’t help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You can have many instances of WP on a server as long has they each have their own directory (and do not consume more than your allotted server resources). At some point it’d be worth using WP Multisite instead of multiple single installations. But multisite has its quirks, I’d personally rather have 2 or 3 single installations. More than that would warrant multisite.

    Be sure each WP installation has its own separate database, or at least its own unique table prefix. Both are specified in wp-config.php.

    If you’re getting 403 errors, there are issues with either file permissions or access restrictions imposed from .htaccess or your server’s configuration files.

    index.php can appear in permalinks under certain server configurations where a default file is not specified. It can be specified in .htaccess with DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

    It sounds like your server configuration may not be optimal for what you want. If you’re unable to straighten things out yourself, I recommend seeking assistance through your host’s technical support.
