Problem with apache

| Hi, i'm pretty new to all this so please be gentle. I recently decided
to set up my own webserver and run it on my adsl connection i'm just
having one or two problems.
I'm using zone edit for my dns so that is all taken care of.
The problem i'm having is that everytime i visit www.mysite.com i get a
403 "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server."
error.
Is this something to do with the permissions on the folder in my htdocs
directory or is it to do with my httpd.conf file?
Please help.
Andrew

Look in Windows' System and Application logs and in Apache's access and
error logs for errors that might provide a clue.

| It's isn't an apache error, from what i've read i think it's got
something to do with the fact i'm using a directory i created inside
the htdocs directory as root for the mysite.com virtualhost.
I've been playing around for a few hours but to be honest i'm pretty
stumped.
Is there anything wrong with this?
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me@me.com
DocumentRoot /htdocs/mysite.com
ServerName www.mysite.com
ServerAlias mysite.com
</VirtualHost>

Did you look at the logs?
If this has anything to do with Apache's Virtual Host feature, I can't
help you.

| I've looked at access.log and it just says the following
myipaddress - - [date and time] "GET / HTTP/1.1 403 202
This doesn't tell me much.....

Man, getting info out of you is like pulling teeth.
Check the other logs I mentioned?

| theres a sample from my own server, i know that works, so mirror it
with your info, see what happens.
############################
# Virtual Host www.digitalwolf.org
<VirtualHost www.digitalwolf.org>

yes the default address has to be included in the virtual server
directory, it should still be defined at the head of the conf file
though.
Server being where apache is installed
www being the document root
/htdocs/mysite.com < that looks like unix addressing to me, if your
using windows use literal addressing ( "c:\apache\htdocs" )
dont forget document root is the path to your documents, not a web
address.
also find and check the following:
#Listen 127.0.0.1:80 ( you dont to define an IP, unless running
multiple servers on a routed #connection
Listen 80
#no need to define the fully qualified domain name, just the DN,and TLD
: PORT
ServerName digitalwolf.org:80
any problems, just post your entire conf file on here, ill have a look
and modify the nessacerry entries for you.
