Hi,
I'm pretty new to this, so, this may be a dumb question.
I cannot get to the index.php page to finish my install.

I am trying to install Drupal 6.6 on RHEL 4. I have Apache 2.2, PHP 4.3.9 and MYSQL 5. I have verified that Apache, PHP and MYSQL are all running.

index.php is in:
/var/www/html/drupal

I am trying to set up Drupal to run on my intranet. Once I go to http://localhost/drupal/index.php , I see this error in my browser:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /drupal/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas?

Check which user owns the directory ('ls -l') and confirm that's the same user that your webserver is running as.

Brad,
I checked. Directory is owned by root, and httpd is owned by root. Still not working.

Thanks

Sorry, can't tell what you mean there. There's ambiguity and I'm guessing you mean the file httpd.conf is owned by root.

In your Apache config, there should be a pair of declarations called User and Group. I'm guessing they're not set to root. Doublecheck.
