Access Forbidden

[TheReverend]

When i try to log into http://localhost i get the message "You don't have permission to access / on this server." Yet it is my machine and i am the administrator. Do I have to set up permissions anywhere? This is only after I installed PHP, using Apache Web Server. Worked before installing PHP. Any ideas?

There needs to be an index.html file (or index.something as defined by the DirectoryIndex directive, IIRC) in that directory.

thanks filbert1!!! I put an index.html in my phpweb folder and it worked fine. But why does it point to that folder now for localhost and not my apache\htdocs? Or is this the folder i have to use now to view web pages through?
