Actually, to see if apache is working you have to go to the ip you started it on. In my vmware, it is 192.168.0.175Quote:
did you check the apache or not?
i have the same error "forbiden"
If apache is working and the ip is correct, you'll get some error saying something about a security feature of xampp.
As long as it doesn't say "Unable to load this page" or "Request timed out" the server is working.
