Trying to configure permissions for web users entered through Apache Server

1 New Member
Dear All,

While trying to access wed folders using a browser's http connection (defined as Aliases in httpd.conf file), I am getting the following error screen.

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /icons/ on this server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.22 Server at pc-nomy Port 80

I tried to find exactly which username needs to be configured for the full permissions on targetted folder, but couldn't find the information anywhere. I tried to configure the Web Service Logon information in 'Services console of ControlPanel, but it doesn't show any change.

Any idea?

I am relatively new to PHP. One of the things that seems glaring obvious to me (coming from a C/C++ background) is how 'open' everything seems - (AFAIK). For instance, URLs typically have the name of the php script that they are calling - also just viewing the source of most web pages will show you in glorious detail, the paths and names to...
