That seems to have solved the problem. Thank to both of you who suggested it.

It sounds as though your installation is trying to find index.html, not finding it, so then trying to do a directory listing which is forbidden. Hope that helps. Thanks, Nathan. http://kturl.com/blog From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of H G Laughland Sent: Tuesday, 8 June 2010 1:22 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [phpug] Running worpress on a Windows 7 machine Hi Have have set up PHP 5.2.13, Apache 2.2, etc on my new windows 7 laptop. Everything appears to be configured correctly and works well except when I try to run wordpress. I get an access denied message in my browser. My apache log contains the message "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: C:/clients/wordpress/" What is happening is that for some reason the index.php file in the wordpress directory won't run. PHP files with other names work fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?
