Hi,
Your webpages/docs should go in the <APACHE_ROOT>/htdocs directory,
where <APACHE_ROOT> is wherever you told the compilation/installation to
put Apache (e.g., if /usr/local/apache2/, then
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs).
As to the 403 error, look in the logs/error_log or logs/error.log file,
or possibly in the logs/access_log or logs/access.log file, and see if
there is anything helpful there.
I don't have a *nix Apache installation, but I seem to recall (it's been
awhile) that I had to change the "User" directive in httpd.conf from
something like "User nobody" to "User -1" or something along those
lines.
Sorry if this might not much help  ...

You did not say what your OS was, but on my MDK10 Apache config file are
default at /etc/httpd/conf. To find your server's DocumentRoot search
the httpd2.conf
grep -e "DocumentRoot" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf
mine reveals a default '/var/www/html'
I know that this directory must be 0755 or you will get such an error.
Checking the log may be more informative. Default location for mine is:
'/var/log/httpd/error_log'

Take care,
Jonathan
