I have Apache installed on my computer, http://localhost gave me a page saying it worked. I edited httpd.conf, and changed 'DocumentRoot' and '<Directory' to C:/Temp_Serv (Where my Index.html page is located) and when go to http://localhost/ I get a 403 error:
------------------------------
You are not authorized to view this page
You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.
------------------------------

During the install I made sure that all firewalls were off, and closed all programs (as the tutorial said to) and upon starting the Apache service I get no error messages.

My operating system is Windows XP SP2, and I used the .msi (Windows Installer, not binary). If you need any more information let me know.

If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. If you have AIM, my screen name is Dovegun.

Thanks,
Chase

Show exactly what your DocumentRoot and <Directory lines look like. Is the syntax proper?

[Squashman]

Not to mention what are the permissions on the folder you changed it too. Why did feel the need to change the document root. Check the error.log file and tell us what it says.

Configuration file:
#DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "C:/Temp_Serv"
/\/\/\/\/\/\
#<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
<Directory "C:/Test_Serv">

The Error log:

I apologise for the late reply, I haven't had internet for a while.
I changed the document Root because this tutorial I was reading said to.

What are the permissions on the htdocs folder and what are the permissions on your new document root.

Is that a Typo Temp_Serv or Test_Serv

yeah...your doc root and directory must point to the same location

[dovegun]

Did the same thing a couple of months ago. Coudn't figure out why this program wouldn't run and then I finally realized the typo in the path
