Author unable to access install.php file

I'm trying to install a program called phpBB2 on a Linux computer
running Fedora Core 3, using Apache 2.0.52. I put the phpBB2 directory
in the /var/www/html directory and changed the permission on the
following directories to 777 (phpBB2, phpBB2/install). When I try to
access the http://localhost/phpBB2/install/install.php file, I get the
following message:

Forbidden


You don't have permission to access /phpBB2/index.php on this server.


Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) Server at localhost Port 80

I check the httpd.conf file and it shows the following:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
#
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Is there a reason why I can't access the install.php file? If I point
my browser to http://localhost/phpBB2/install, I see one directory and
the parent directory. If I go up one level to http://localhost/phpBB2,
I get the above mentioned 403 error.
Any advice on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.
