Hi,

I am trying to run and configure Apache 2.0, php 5 and mysql on win xp
professional - this is the first time I have tried to install and
configure all three. I am having difficulty trying to configure them
on my computer. Can somebody help me - this is what I have done so
far.

Installed Apache 2.0, it worked perfectly ( I checked with my browser -
http://localhost) till the point where I started to point where I
wanted to store my html files. I have named the folder html_files and
have changed the DocumentRoot "C:/html_files" and <Directory
"C:/html_files/htdocs"> on the configuration file. And now it does not
work (http://localhost does not work). I get an error message saying
"You don't have permission to access / on the server". What am I doing
wrong?

Also I have installed and configured php 5, renamed Rename
e:\php\php.ini-dist it to php.ini and enterd the following on the
apache configuration file

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "c:/php"

Obviously it does not work because apache is not working? Can somebody
help me? And how do I install and configure mysql?

Thanks,
Gene
