I just finished installing Drupal in my WAMP installation and was instructed to copy the default index.php page in Drupal to the root. Now, when I access the localhost it brings up Drupal's default page and when I try to access any of my development sites at http://localhost/mysite I receive the following error message.

I would like Drupal to be installed but not be the default when I access localhost (I would like the default Apache page to be the default).

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /mysite/ on this server.

I know I can set up aliases in Apache to point to these sites but as I have dozen's of sites, I do not prefer this option.

You probaly want to install drupal in a sub-directory of your wamp www folder.

to get the original wamp index.php back (which gives you that nice overview) download the wamp zip again, and find the index.php in the www directory.

less == more

Thanks for the suggestion. I moved the files to a sub-folder and realized since I have WAMP Server2, I could reinstall on top of the existing installation and it restored the page. Then, after creating an alias to the /drupal/ sub-folder off the root, everything is back to normal. Thank you for your help.
