There is not another person on this planet with this problem or it is so obvious to fix that it is not worth others time to tell me ......
I have xampp up and running on Windows 2000. No problems there.
I then installed Joomla. Even that runs. Trouble is that whenever (from Joomla) I make any change or want to do anything which means saving information to the disk then I get an Access Forbidden ... Error 403 notice.
Well I have posted this a few times on the Joomla forum but whilst people have read the posts I do not get any helpful suggestions as to how to fix this.
I do not quite know what to think since my installs are all out of the box ... I have even read the install manual for Joomla.
But I am no further forward which is very slightly annoying. I am therefore taking one step back and wonder if there is somethig in xampp that I have not done ..... ?
Any ideas or pearls of wisdom appreciated ..
