(I have been reading all related question and non of them fix my issue, basicaly they are different issue.)
I am new to magento, however I have some experience with php.
I recently installed magento on a shared server. The installation went ok, but, I can't install extensions through Magento Connect Manager. Every time I put in the url: http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Mage_Locale_pt_BR
I get in the console:
POST http://www.(mydomain)/downloader/index.php?A=connectPreparePackagePost 403 Forbidden 499ms
Html response:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /downloader/index.php
on this server.<br />
</p>
</body></html>
As an extra information, I have to say that I haven't done any configuration so this is a fresh installation of magento, that I just wanted to put in portuguese.
I tried to change /downloader/index.php to 0777 and 0755, but still the same thing.
Magento 1.9.1.0
Any ideas?
