Hello all,
Essentially I am using Xammp as a test server to test web pages.
For some reason a previous installation, which worked, disappeared. Perhaps I deleted it. These things happen.
To come to the point. I am using WinXP with SP2. The Xampp version is 1.6.8 and it is the installer exe version.
As before, I modified file httpd-xampp.conf file located in the extra folder and used an alias to point to my test site documents. They are not located in the xampp root folder.
When I call up the alias I get this message: Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. Error 403
The whole thing is really perplexing since Xampp runs OK on my laptop and I can check web documents by way of the alias module.
I initially installed xampp in C:/xampp but then reinstalled it in C:/Program Files, both with the same results.
Thank you for reading all this.
