Right you are. I found that and changed it. Thanks, Rob. I also happened across this comment and directive:
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache2.2/htdocs">Once I changed that and DirectoryIndex, everything worked right. Guess I better take the time to read httpd.conf from start to finish. Thanks for your reply too, Axel-Stéphane. :o)

I'm good in a lot of technical areas, but I'm trying to get Apache working and it's my first time ever to install any kind of server. My server needs are simple, as I'm installing Apache for local use only; it will not be accessible through the Internet. I'm running WinXP SP2. I downloaded and installed the Apache 2.2.2 Win32 binary. The installation appeared successful; after I finished, I pointed my browser to http://127.0.0.1/, and received Apache's "It Works!" web page. I then opened httpd.conf and changed the DocumentRoot directive to: DocumentRoot "G:/tees" which is my development directory. (That directory contains index.htm and several other web pages.) But now, when I try to browse http://127.0.0.1/, I get the familiar "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server." I've checked everything I can think of related to permissions and security, and I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
