Hi,
I am currently experiencing some issues with configuration on my local server. I am attempting to setup apache on a Windows Vista machine. I have gone through the tutorials I could find online. I have run the installer from the command line enabled as Administrator, I have also saved the installation outside the Program Files path, however nothing seems to cure the problem.
Basically if I leave the DocumentRoot as the default (within my c:/Apache/htdocs) directory then the setup works fine. However I wish to use a different setup (to allow for subdomains also) so wish to have my documents in the directory c:/WebRoot instead. When I change the DocumentRoot setting within the httpd.conf file (restart etc...) then I find that I get a 403 Forbidden error.
I have a feeling somewhere that this is due to file permissions but have no idea where to start. I am a relatively new user to Vista Ultimate.
Thanks In Advance.

There is also a
| Code: |
<Directory "c:/Apache/htdocs">
|
change that path, too. That sets the persmissions. |
