I recently installed XAMPP which includes apache. the install went fine. I went into httpd.conf and changed the document root and directory because I want localhost to show me this set of files when I go there in the browser
<Directory "C:/app/webroot">
<DocumentRoot"C:/app/webroot">
I get this message:
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

Error 403
localhost

Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.8 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1s
oddly enough, when I go to localhost/phpMyadmin it loads up with no problem (aside from the fact that it somehow installed in German instead of english, but that is a problem for another day)
any idea why this is happening?
