I'm attempting to build my first html/php driven database search form. My server is wampserver2.0, and I built the database "contact" via phpmyadmin from the root user. below is my code (the password is different, of course) mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("contact") or die(mysql_error()); Code (markup): I'm getting 403: Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /sigmapiminnesota/inc/< on this server. keep in mind that i've got the search form page in sigmapiminnesota/inc because it's an include for the main template, and i've enabled vhost. also, the password setup in conf.inc.php for the mysql database is the same for phpmyadmin. have i made an error here in using localhost for the path, or is the error somewhere else?
