I'm still getting the same error, but the error message looks different now - like this: Following the instructions in the top-rated answer, I cd'd into the root directory (the folder 'dynamictransit_wpe' that's sitting on my Desktop) and ran the following commands: find. I'm still getting the same result in the browser, though.ĮDIT 3: After checking the error log, I saw that the error message said: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) I followed the instructions in the second answer of this article - I cd'd into homefolder/wp-content/themes and ran sudo chown -R username:groupname theme_name to hopefully give the theme its necessary permissions. That made the username display "all privileges", just like the other usernamesīut I'm still getting the forbidden error message when typing localhost:8888/theme_name_wpe into the URL.ĮDIT 2: I also considered that this might be a permissions issue. Should I be editing username privileges - is that what's causing this error message?ĮDIT: I went ahead and hit "edit privileges" and checked "grant" under administration. I also notice that under privileges, 'Grant' is set to no for this username. I make sure that the username matches what I have in the wp-config.php file, and it does (line 3): define( 'DB_USER', 'database_username' ) Going into phpMyAdmin -> Database Name (on the left side) -> Privileges You can also see that MySQL is configured to use port 8889.
