Hello everyone, I am a beginner with proxmox and have just started about a week ago. I have a Lenovo Thinkcentre that I want to set up as a homeserver, and just to play around and learn stuff. But right at the beginning I ran into an issue I can't solve. Installing and setting up proxmox seems to have worked fine. I can log into the proxmox frontend, download templates, set up vms and containers, log onto them and use the consoles/terminals. I have set up a turnkey linux mediawiki container from the template provided by proxmox. Using the console of the container I can run all commands and check all installed packages. There doesn't seem to be anything missing that is mentioned in every tutorial.

However, when I try to call the wiki in my browser (http://ip-of-the-server/mediawiki/) I get a 403 error code. And I can't get my head around why I would get this error.

Things I have tried is
- restarting the container
- restarting the server
- reinstalling the template
- setting up the container again several times
- follow each step of every tutorial I could find

From what I can tell after a thorough internet search it seems to be some permission issue. What's confusing me is that I have set up a dokuwiki from a template as well at some point. That one worked absolutely fine, no issues at all, just a 2 minutes workflow. From what I can tell, dokuwiki and mediawiki are both based on a lamp stack, so there shouldn't be any major differences in the installations, right? Anybody got any suggestions what could be the reason and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance! :)
