Thanks Scott, I found the documentation from www.apache.org. I noticed linuxconf had changed the <Files> directive value to "deny from all", after changing it to "allow from all" it worked just fine.

In other words, don't use linuxconf to configure Apache. If you go to apache's website, they will give you detailed instructions on how to fix this. I believe the URL is http://www.apache.org. Look in Documentation/Support. I had the same problem when I first installed Linux also... Scott Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: redhat-list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Apache - cannot access I have just re-installed RH6.2 in my system. Everything was fine, I was able to access my Apache's default web page from my browser.I tried changing the DocumentRoot to /home/httpd/mysite, using linuxconf. However I was not able to access my default page located in /home/httpd/mysite. I changed th DocumentRoot back to /home/httpd/html, however I am still not able to access to default page in /home/httpd/html. I get an error message which says " FORBIDDEN - You donot have access to / on this server". I am relatively new to Linux and Apache configuration. would appreciate any help.
