I am a newbie and am having problems customizing XAMPP document root. This is the
first thing I'm trying to do with the server.
http://www.keynotesupport.com/websites/xampp-apache-tutorial.shtml
I have followed the instructions in this document, creating an Apache Sites folder and
editing the httpd.conf file to
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache Sites"
<Directory "C:/Apache Sites">
However when I access the host I get
"You don't have permission to access / on this server." (403)
I have made no other changes and as far as I can tell this is the default installation
of the server. I get the same result if the Apache Sites folder is empty or if it
contains an index.php file with "hello World". Everything works fine from the default
folder. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
(running win 7x64 and Server ver 5.5.24 installed in c:\xampplite)
