The feedback on this seems really good, but it didn’t work for me. I have a client who is currently running WP 5.3.8 on their site and i’m making some improvements for them. I’d like to create their exact environment by installing this older version of WP. I followed the instructions here (including the note from Paul to avoid the automatic update of the core) and when i try to open the site, i get a ‘403 Forbidden’ error.
The nginx error log shows the following:
[error] 15403#0: *1 directory index of “/Users/Me/Local Sites/xxx538/app/public/” is forbidden, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: “GET / HTTP/1.0”, host: “xxx538.local”
Everything that i’ve read tells me that this is a file permissions error. I have changed the file permissions on the folder listed above to “The world can read/write”, saved that, bounced the application and still the same error.
Can anyone offer any advice?
thank you!
