403 forbidden access errr on windows

[Duke555]

how are you?

i wanted to ask you the following question.

i have just tried to make the following changes in httpd.conf file:

1)#<Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs">

<Directory "C:/Study/PHP">

2) #DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs"

DocumentRoot "C:/Study/PHP"

 

I wanted to work on my files in another directory. I keep getting the error

message below.

would you be able to tell me how to get it to work? i mean it is not Linux where chmod 777 would do the trick...

thank you
