I just installed xampp in ubuntu . After installing , i pointed my browser to http://localhost , but it gives me forbidden error . I gave all permissions to htdocs folder , but still i get the same error. I tried looking at error log file, but the file is empty.

I am completely at a loss . Please help

Thanks

Do you have any files on this site? If yes -- can you access them directly (e.g. http://localhost/mypicture.jpg)? – LazyOne Jun 23 '11 at 0:21
BTW, 404 = Not Found, while Forbidden will be 403. – LazyOne Jun 23 '11 at 0:21
