Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This is hardly a PHP problem...

Description:
------------
I am using rpm packages that came with my Redhat Edition 
php-4.3.9-3.1
httpd-2.0.52-9.ent

I was facing this peculiar problem, I downloaded some PHP packages
(ACID & ADODB for Snort & phpMyAdmin)from the internet. when I unpacked
the packages in the document root and setting appropriate permissions I
was getting Access Forbidden Page -- Error 403... I was perplexed.. I
have hosted many sites & I am aware how permissions work for apache.
PHP was successfully installed & I could see the output for phpinfo().
BUT, if you copy (& not move) the whole package directory, after
unpacking & extracting it, to a different location; the problem goes
away!!!!! 
It is very strange but the method works.

SO--after unpacking and extracting the package, you have to copy the
whole directory to a new location and set the permission again. Use the
new (copied) directory to host the website that you want to host...you
will not get that error..
I do not know whether it is the problem of OS or Apache or PHP..
May be somebody out there could use my experience!!!
Thanks a lot.
