403 when opening "/mw-config/index.php" for configuring MediaWiki on WAMP

0

I'm following this guide

When I try to open http://domain/directory/mw-config/index.php with domain=localhost and directory=C:/wamp/www/wiki I get:

Forbidden  

You don't have permission to access /C:/wamp/www/wiki/mw-config/index.php on this server.   
Apache/2.4.18 (Win32) PHP/5.6.19 Server at localhost Port 80

How to solve this?

The URL I am using is 

localhost/C:/wamp/www/wiki/mw-config/index.php

Show us exactly what you are entering into the browser address bar, please dont make us guess – RiggsFolly – 2016-06-07T13:01:00.007

http://localhost/C:/wamp/www/wiki/mw-config/index.php

WAMP is located on C:/wamp Mediawiki on C:/wamp/www/wiki/ I'm using windows 10

That is not a correct url.

There should be no reference to anything like C:/wamp

A correct url would be localhost/wiki/mw-config/index.php

You have a web server now so urls should look pretty much like they do on a real site i.e. example.com/folder/file.php except you use localhost instead of example.com
