Apache 403

Hi all,

I just redid my system with a "Erase and install", turned on apache and configured PHP (removed the comment in httpd.conf), and added some DirectoryIndexs...

Then I restarted apache, and noticed no matter what I typed in, (like localhost/ **) I get a 403 error..

I tryed adding me to the Chmod group on the Document root, etc..

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello, and good morning to you. I found thus article, it may help you understand what is going on. Post you console report for comparison."First of all I could not execute .cgi files locally via my Sites
directory. I got a 403 forbidden error message.
I have tried to restart Apache via the terminal, and got this:

also, I would like to point out, that if I do it as sudo I get no error..

no matter how I start apache I get the 403 error in safari..

I try:
http://localhost/
http://localhost/index.php

--i do have the index file there..

Any ideas?
