Hi, I am using self-hosting, well I am trying to install invoice ninja on windows 10 with xampp and php 7.3, but when accessing localhost/ninja/public to start the installation it gives me error 403. The same thing happens by accessing to localhost/ninja. what am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot
Are there any errors in the web server error logs?

This could be the problem: [Sat Apr 18 23:20:02.931361 2020] [rewrite:error] [pid 13452:tid 1968] [client ::1:51562] AH00670: Options FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnerMatch are both off, so the RewriteRule directive is also forbidden due to its similar ability to circumvent directory restrictions : C:/xamppPortable-x64-php7.3-Pruebas/htdocs/ninja-4.5.18/

Thank you !!!.
The solution was to add in the .htaccess file of the ninja-v4.5.18 folder, inside the directive <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options + FollowSymLinks
Again, thanks for helping me
