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


i tried changing the docroot back and moving files back and it still does the same thing

am i missing something do i have to change any permissions in httpd.conf, do i need to edit httpd.conf~ instead of httpd.conf ?

You need to be sure that the user apache runs as (default-nobody) has read and possibly execute(can't remember) permissions on the docroot directory you specify in httpd.conf.

You need global execute permissions on the DocumentRoot directory. And damonbrinkley, the default user varies depending on how it's installed (On Debian, for example, it's www-data, which I vastly prefer to nobody)

The code of what?

(I have a sneaking suspicion you mean index.php in your DocumentRoot, but I can't be sure)
