I had some headaches when setting this up. I could get it to go to the directory I wanted but it kept reporting a 403 (forbidden) when I would try to access it. I solved it by adding the following lines: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all I'm a little foggy about whats going on there but I did notice in some of the other conf files it was used to set permissions. It seemed to solve my issue. Hope this helps! :) I am a server side-noob but I was attempting to set up XAMPP on my machine but really didn’t want to use the default directory.
