[RESOLVED]Access denied on my own localhost?

[kill_bill_gates]

Hi,

I always had problem setting up apache and php(and mysql) but this time it was different. I installed an older version of Apache from downloads archive but it gave me an error in command prompt application and no services were running in Apache.

So I downloaded the newest versions of Apache and PHP and made the necessary configurations to httpd.conf and php.ini. localhost directory successfuly works(I see a congrats message of Apache)but when I try to open any PHP file or folder under that directory I get HTML 43 Error(You are not authorized to view this page).

Any help would be appreciated.


P.S. Other files(jpg, txt,...) can be viewed

You need to add a Directory container with allow permissions.

<Directory C:/php>
  allow from all
</Directory>

where should I add it?

At the bottom of httpd.conf

Thanks a lot. You're my savior. I've been working on it for a few days now and all I could find on the net was: Apache Server 2.2.3 is incompatible with PHP 5.
Thanks a lot again

all I could find on the net was: Apache Server 2.2.3 is incompatible with PHP 5.

Might explain why I couldn't get the bugger to work as a SAPI module. Only as CGI.

No problem.
