Admin Panel Login Problem

[adeniyi_2010]

Hello
I installed Live Admin Lite on my local server - XAMPP. This would enable me to try out the software in a development environment before going live.
The installation went well. Trouble starts when I try to login to the admin panel and I get this message:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 403

localhost
3/21/2012 10:11:26 PM
Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1

The link that appears in the browser also appear strange:

localhost/chat/<?=$login_address;?>?act=do_login

I went online to my server and installed the software and everything went fine. I could sign in and do some work in the admin backend.
So I think the problem has to do with using the localhost. Any suggestion on how to resolve this? I saw that someone already asked a similar question with no positive solution.
Please help usssssssssssss!

i installed on localhost using wamp and all went fine for me, did you use the suggested username and password also what localhost program are you using

I too am receiving th 403 forbidden error. I am using wamp on a local server and the url points to:
.... liveadmin/<?=$login_address;?>?act=do_login

I've checked the folder and the folder isn't read-only. Have you resolved this yet, if so how?

thanks.

if youre using it on local machine, you have to make sure that the username is root if you have not done this this will give the error you mention here

when you install on a local machine do not use a password just input root as the database user

I've got the same problem but I've installed Liveadmin on VPS machine. Website is actually online. Furthermore, I moved my website from one server to another. Any ideas? On previous machine everything was ok. One thing I changed is "phpflag' on htaccess. file. I had to delete this line.

Are you using the license version or free version? If license version make sure your database user and password are correct
