Hi All

Im having issue with Moving the System Directory Above Webroot developing locally.

is this correct ?

sites——  dev.mysite.com—- public_html
            |                      |
            |                      |  - admin.php
            |                      |  - index.php
            |                      |  - images
            |                      |  - themes
            |
            |————————system
 
Because im getting a 403 error when viewing - dev.mysite.com

My system folder is at the same level as my public_html folder:

-public_html
—-index.php
—-images
—-etc…
-system

I think the idea is to keep the system folders outside of public

Yep, you want public_html (or whichever directory is your web root) to be siblings with your system directory. This shows how the two should appear next to each other.

Cheers for your help, all sorted!

403 was my bad,  just a mamp issue.

Glad Kevin and Julie got you squared away.  Heh- I have a local running on MAMP too- very handy!  But yes, took me a bit of sorting out.  If you run into any more issues, just let us know.
