Unable to Access Links Inside WP-admin (Edited)

After installing WordPress, I can’t access links within the admin panel — when I try to open any page, I get a “Page Not Found” error. Initially, the CSS wasn’t loading, but after adding this line:

		

			
		

		define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
the CSS started displaying correctly, yet the issue with accessing the admin panel remains.

Here’s the content of my .htaccess file:
		

			
		

		
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

How can I fix this issue?

Allowing access to everything might not be the best idea.

The rule below is denying access to all .php files, including those necessary for the WordPress admin panel to function:

		

			
		

		
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all

To fix this, modify the rule like this:

		

			
		

		
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all

This way, you'll still block access to potentially dangerous files but allow access to .php files essential for WordPress.

The problem is with this part of the .htaccess:

		

			
		

		
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all

The line Deny from all is blocking access.

You can change it to Allow from all like this:

		

			
		

		
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

This should allow access.
