gud day guys.. I'm testing a program with the use of php and mysql. I created a page wherein I can edit and delete data from my database.I dont know what's wrong with it that the following messages appear when I hit the update and delete link. Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 localhost 2/3/2010 9:20:53 AM Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 I know I can count on you guys...please send some help regarding this matter....huhu....i dont know what 2do.
1. also check your mysql log for error output make sure your script can CONNECT to your mysql db 2. make sure you (the script) is properly configured for that mysql databyse with proper username / password to access the db AND to delete db that requires proper mysql db configuration as well to grant proper permissions to the user running that script if that sounds too complicated and you have difficulties to continue on your own, then you most likely exceed your current KNOWLEDGE by doing what you want to do. before working on scripts that can manipulate and delete db or content of db you really need to KNOW what you do !! also make sure ALL files / folders you use have proper ownership ( chown) since you install/configure much as root - ownership may need to be corrected after any changes you do as root on the folders/files you test !! remember your error message mentioned above: "... please contact the webmaster. ..." you=webmaster on localhost = means you need to learn all the basics as well before going into heavy stuff
