I downloaded the Apache 2.2.22 Windows msi and installed it as a console app,
I copied all the files to C:/Program Files/Apache and uninstalled Apache to
have a stock copy of the installation.
I made the following changes in httpd.conf.
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache"
Listen 8080
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
DocumentRoot "htdocs"
ErrorLog "logs/error.log"
<Directory "htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
When I used IE to access http://localhost:8080, I got the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/1.0.1c Server at localhost Port
8080
I saw the following entry in error.log
[Thu Nov 29 14:15:39 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server
configuration: C:/Program Files/Apache/htdocs/
However if I changed the directory setting to the followings, it worked fine
even though the DocumentRoot setting remained the same.
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
It seems that the DocumentRoot directive accepts a relative path name but the
<Directory> structure requires the full path, is that the case?
