I'm trying to connect to my apache webserver. And I get the following error

You are not authorized to view this page
You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied. Error 403 - forbidden.

May someone advise me on the changes I should make in the httpd.conf file.
Thanx

I am going to move this over to software but I will also leave a refferal link here. it would probally get more hits from a Apachie administrator over there.

Sorry I only know a bit of websphere

Make sure all the files are owned by the apache user.

Inside of the httpd.conf, what do you show for the following two settings?

   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/directory
   DirectoryIndex index.htm

Assuming you are running a *nix OS, what are the permissions for the directory & files?

I have:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

I just checked, and, for some reason, I have no DocumentRoot defined. However, httpd is reading out of /var/www/localhost/htdocs/

And everything in that dir is owned by user 'apache', group 'apache' (the same user and group that I have httpd running under), with file perms of 644 (unless otherwise changed, like for phpBB2 and Gallery2 dirs)

DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

httpd -k restart

Or if you use the initd script to bring it down & restart it, either way.

Yeah, I know. I'm not worried though.
