Hi - I am trying to learn HTML, I have apache enabled on my macbook pro and I am able to create some basic pages with text, but when i try to put an image on my page i get a "Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /walkOut.jpg on this server." message. Can someone help me set the proper permissions???

thanks
James

This sounds like you don't have apache configured correctly.

I would look where you set the document root for the "Order Allow, Deny" area and make sure you are allowing all connections to start with. Then I'd check your "<directory>" for the document root so make sure you are using indexes etc.
