Let me describe you what I have done.. I have deleted both the server source files and started afresh from the extraction.. followed the steps like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd-2.0.63]# pwd /home/praveena/software/httpd-2.0.63 [EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd-2.0.63]# ./configure --prefix=/home/praveena/software/src2/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd-2.0.63]# make [EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd-2.0.63]# make install ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Praveena the problem that you are facing is pretty common. And by default the access to root directory is restricted. Secondly the error you are on start thar process is not able to bind to ports 80 and 443 coz they are already bound to process by previously running apache. Just try to kill those processes by kill command. And start it again.. just go thru the Directory directive to understand you should do what has to be done. I would suggest you to add <VirtualHost *:7001> RootDirectory /your/location/to/rootdir SernverName yourhostip:7001 <Directory /> Order Allow,Deny Allow from All </Directory> <VirtualHost> Forbidden error occurs coz you(user) are not allowed to see that page.
