how are you?
i wanted to ask you the following question.
i have just tried to make the following changes in httpd.conf file:
1)#<Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs">
<Directory "C:/Study/PHP">
2) #DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "C:/Study/PHP"

I wanted to work on my files in another directory. I keep getting the error
message below.
would you be able to tell me how to get it to work? i mean it is not Linux where chmod 777 would do the trick...
thank you


Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either
read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
