I am receiving a 403 forbidden error when I try to run my page through the browser. What do I need to do to correct this?

can you give a little more info, are you trying to connect to a database or is it a simple php file, do you have a webserver set up on your machine ?

Whats on your page ?

this error usually occurs when you try to view a folder without any contents. make sure that there is something inside the folder you are viewing. even with directory browsing this error can sometimes occur if the dir is empty.

I am receiving a 403 forbidden error when I try to run my page through the browser. What do I need to do to correct this? The page is a PHP page that I am trying to open.

If it is just a plain standard php file,
make sure your looking at the correct path,

i.e

localhost/yoursite/index.php

make sure the file is saved in the location c:\inetpub\wwwrooot\yoursite

Like poolio said your may be looking at an emty folder or you are missing and index.php if your just tryingt o view localhost/yoursite/

hope this helps
