Thanks for the suggestions. I made the changes you suggested, but continued to get the same error with whatever URL I tried. What URL do you think might work?

this webpage."

My website is at c:\users\lamartin\my website

I have configured Apache to include, but not be limited to,
the following
Directives:
**********************
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"

ServerName localhost:80

Listen 80

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
UserDir Enabled lamartin
UserDir "My Website"

<Directory "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website">
        AllowOverride None
        Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Includes ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
</Directory>
*************************

With URL: http:/localhost/~lamartin/  I get an HTTP 403
error, "Website
declined to show this webpage."

The tilde is a unix short-cut. I don't think it'll work with vista...
Try using the complete path to your home dir in UserDir, eg:

UserDir  "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website"

Also, change the "Enabled" key word to "enabled" in case this is not
case-insensitive.

Rgds,
Owen Boyle

HELP for this error says "This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that
Internet Explorer was able to connect
to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage."

I don't know what is wrong. Any guidance on how to correct
this error would
be appreciated.

Please note that URL: http://localhost/  works fine. My
operating system is
Windows Vista Home Premium.
