Getting Runway to work on Localhost without Licence

Hi,

I have a few Runway sites now, all of which started on localhost with Mamp Pro. I am just starting another, and can not get this up and running, the only difference is that I do not own a licence for this project yet. The client wants to see a couple of concepts before approving a direction. Hence why I do not wish to spend the money here and now.

I have not done anything different to my licenced sites, in fact, I have reinstalled a few times, just in case something went wrong.

I can load the backend, in this case stokesleytowncouncil.loc/perch. However, when I try to view the outputted page, stokesleytowncouncil.loc displays an error "You don't have permission to access / on this server."

I find it really odd that this does not work as smoothly as a site with a purchased licence?

It seems to have something to do with the index.php file which is supplied as part of the install?

Help would be very appreciated
