[SOLVED] 403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.

Hi everyone

 

This is a beginner's question. I am using Apache 2.2 on Windows XP, and I have put the following in the httpd.conf file:

 

Listen 9099

<VirtualHost localhost:9099>

    DocumentRoot "D:\samples\php_pdt\HelloPHP"

</VirtualHost>

 

But when I try to open the index.html I created one the site using the following URL:

 

http://localhost:9099/index.html

 

Then come this error:

 

403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.

 

But how can I grant that permission?

 

Regards

Warren

You probably need a VirtualHost<blah> line.

 

 

 

Also, look for any deny commands.

Hi corbin

 

Thanks for your suggestions. It turns out that I need a <Directory> with proper settings for some permissions (I am not familiar with it for now but just copied the one in the httpd.conf file).
