403 forbidden in tomcat-apache

[Parvez]

hi,

i have installed tomcat 3.2.1, with apache 1.3.12 on a linux machine.
it works perfectly fine on port 8080, but when i include it with
apache conf (i.e. tomcat-apache.conf) and try to access the same jsp/servlet
file, it gives 403 forbidden error.
my http user in apache is "nobody:nobody" and my htdocs is conrolled by "admin".
can someone tell me, where the problem is?
thanks in advance.
