installing elgg with mysql apache and php in windows xp

Dear experts,

I'm installing elgg in windows xp with mysql, apache, and php instead of using easyphp. The problem arises when I'm registering in the login page, I got the following error in the browser:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /C:/Documents and Settings/Nia/My Documents/training/web/social/elgg1.6.1/account/register.php on this server.

and in my apache server error log it shows:

From the error log, I can tell that it has bunch of php errors and I don't know what it means. Also the last error says "Cannot map GET", I'm not sure what it means either. Could anybody help me on this? Pardon me since I'm a novice in apache, php, and elgg....

ps: is there any tag (besides the quote tag) that can display the output more read-friendly? thanks
