Testing wordpress on my domain in a subfolder?

[ad_1]

I am learning wordpress and have a domain that already has a service at ‘/’. I am using nginx and added the following location direction:

location /wp {
deny all;
allow MY_PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS;
alias /path/to/where/i/extracted/wordpress;
index index.php;
}

This just pulls up a notice that this is the index.php etc. But according to this: [https://www.tutorialspoint.com/wordpress/wordpress\_installation.htm](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/wordpress/wordpress_installation.htm)

It should be displaying the setup wizard. If i remove the `index index.php` line i get a 403 forbidden error.

I tried running these commands on the directory to set the correct permissions:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

But i still get the 403 error. what am i doing wrong?
