Hi guys,

Am a web designer whom has installed Apache 1.3.28 on my XP Home machine.
Install went perfect, went to localhost and it was successful. Install PHP, and my test.php file worked.

PROBLEM:
When I made a new directory in the /htdocs/ folder called /php/ just to test the folder priviledges, and copied my test.php, which ran perfectly as localhost , and tried to load it in localhost, it gave me a:
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /php/ on this server.
.

Now the only folder in the /htdocs/ is a documentation folder which came with the install.
And as far as I understand, I obviously have to edit my "httpd.conf" file to change permissions.
How would I do edit it with setting permissions to all folders I create in the /htdocs/ folder or do I have to set an "alias"?(a word I dont know the true meaning of) for every single folder I want to create?

Please help?

Thanks
J

Apache/1.3.28 Server at localhost Port 80

do you get the same error when you create a directory called /test and access it like http://localhost/test/test.php ?

in some installations the /php/ directory is special and may not be used

if above also doesn't worh you should take a look at your error log, located in the /logs dir

Hey Allowee,

Thanks very much. I did try /test/ directory, and guess what. It work perfectly. I was stupid enough to only make a /php/ directory and didnt realise it was a protected directory.

Thanks a ton,
