Can I access / on this server with a new WordPress install?

After a "manual" install of WordPress on my host iPage. I was able to setup the database and looks like I have access to everything but my home url. So my www.homeurl.com has the message Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server I have access to all the backend, I have access to www.homeurl.com/hello-dolly, I don’t have any plugins active. I haven’t made any changes at all being a fresh install. What I did so far: removed the .htaccess and create a new one going to settings/permalinks and save to create a new .htaccess. File permissions via ftp 755 to all directories, 644 to all files except wp-config.php (440). Now I have no more ideas on what to do

    Ok, solved by including DirectoryIndex index.php on top of my .htaccess file

    Go into dB wp-options table and make sure the site urls are set correctly.

    In my case, I disabled the ModSecurity rule CWAF in Plesk and the 403 error on /wordpress/wp-admin/ was gone.
