Local php install - access permission issue

[dreamingdesigner]

I´m currently installing apache, mysql, php en phpmyadmin on my hard drive as indicated in this tutorial: Linky

Doing everything as indicated in the php install tutorial I get the following error when viewing the phpinfo.php file:

Forbidden
 
You don't have permission to access /php/php-cgi.exe/phpinfo.php on this server.

Any idea why I recieve that error and how I can fix it?

have you ever set up a PHP server before?

If not, I recommend removing all that the tutorial gives you, and download WAMP.
WAMP gives you everything you'll need in one install, and allow you to easily change settings through a tray-menu.
