Hi,

I have just had to reinstall windows.
I have installed Apache 2.2 with installer and PHP with installer
I have left the default http directory and when I type in localhost in the address bar I get the standard welcome message but when I try any other address even localhost/manual
it comes up with a 403 error saying I do not have permission to access it.

Does anybody know where I have gone wrong? I am going to carry on troubleshooting but any help would be greatfull

Cheers
John
