"403 forbidden"

hi guys,

i'm running apache 2.2 on windows as a service

keep getting

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

having a bit of nightmare...


here's my httpd:

NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.rug-sales.com:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/Websites/rug-sales.com"
ServerName www.rug-sales.com
</VirtualHost>



any ideas?

thanks for your help!

Make that:

<VirtualHost *:80>

(just like the example says).

Also, don't the first VirtualHost is the default
virtual host, so if requests for www.furniture.com
reach your server, they will be handled by the virtual
host for www.rug-sales.com
