Access forbidden

Hi

I have been trying to set up the guestbook on my linux pc . But I allways get this message
while trying to connect....

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

iI have set this up on my web site hosting server which runs apache php mysql
It works fine. But I cant do it here locally !!!! !!

I have checked permissions / my sql users / the pass word / db name / and host

Is localhost ok for host ?? < i also tried the machines IP >>
it looks like index.php refuses to read /admin/config.inc.php

Strange thing if i edit this line in index.php

include_once $include_path."/admin/config.inc.php";
to
include_once $include_path."/anythingdirectory/config.inc.php";

I GET THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN
there should be a php error message NO

can somebody understand what is happening or what isnt happening

thanks
phil

check your guestbook directory
usually with it must have read access for the webserver

drwxr-xr-x guestbook

That was it thanks !
