Apache Security Permissions

[FN-GM]

Hi there

 

I have created a virtual apache server OpenDNS when i set it to use a folder inside htdocs it works a treat but when i ask it to use a folder on another drive i get:

 

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

 

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

 

Error 403

 

To me that's a security permission, what do i need to change?

 

Thanks

What user is the apache service running as? Does this user have the correct ntfs permission to your web root folder?

[FN-GM]

Its running under local system.

 

Thanks
