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....

regards,

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