Hi, I am experiencing problems installing Apache 2.2.11 including open-ssl onto my Windows Vista Ultimate (no service pack) machine. I have followedtutorials I have seen online about running the installer from command prompt(as Adminstrator) and installing Apache outside of the Program Files directories. I have installed into C:\apache. I wish to change the DocumentRoot from the standard htdocs (which does work) and move it to c:\webroot. However when I do this I am returned a 403 Forbidden error. I have tried to copy and paste the existing htdocs directory (from c:\apache too c:\webroot\htdocs) amending the htpd.conf file as applicable and still experience the same difficulty. I am a new user of Vista so not 100% on everything as yet. Done some searches online and have'nt been able to pick up anything. Thanks In Advance. Ian
What does your error.log say when you hit the 403? Did you update all the references to c:\apache\htdocs, or just the DocumentRoot line? You need to do the former. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
