I downloaded the latest phptriad on my windowsxp machine. I love it. But, after the installation and running the Apache server and also running mysql, I have a slight problem accessing webpages. I keep getting 403 errors. For example: Today I went to the microsoft update site to download the latest version of DirectX 9.0. Well, after clicking on the download button, I get a 403 error "you are not authorized to view this page". Another fine example of this is when I went to Nvidia's website to download the new driver for my geforce card I get another 403 error or you do not have permission to access this page. I did not have this before loading the phptriad on my machine. Is there a fix for this?
Help please....

just click on download
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
select graphic driver, then
select Geforce and TNT, then select windows xp/2000, then press go.
then select a download link and follow the instructions.
I hope that there is a way to get back to these sites.

open up a command console and run this command:
and see if anything is doing something beside LISTENING on port 80.
not sure if this is the problem but at least its a start.

I opened up the command prompt window in winxp. I ran the netstat -an command and had the following for TCP...I won't type everything just only on 127.0.0.1....
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 127.0.0.1: 1027 127.0.0.1:1824 Time_wait
TCP 127.0.0.1: 1027 127.0.0.1:1827 Time_wait
TCP 127.0.0.1: 1027 127.0.0.1:1829 Time-wait
All the other addresses are Listening not Time_wait. What would block me from accessing regular sites on the net?
Thanks,
Octavious

like i said. wasn't sure if that would hold the answer.
have you tried shutting down the Apache service and then trying to access those sites? if that solves the problem. then its a config setting in Apache or PHP. if it dosen;t fix the problem then you have a problem elsewhere in your system.
The server was off when...

The server was off when I did the netstat command. I did unload phptriad off of the hd. Still have the same problem. Now, here's something weird. I dowloaded Netscape 7 and accessed those site perfectly and downloaded. I went back to microsoft and download sp1 for windowsxp. That did not help either. Do you know if there is something that is turned on in Netscape that should be turned on in windows to stop the 403 errors.
Thanks,

I checked an it's not there. I did install ie explorer 6 yesterday (reinstall). But the same problem persists. How can I get ie back in the add/remove panel in xp?
thanks
