Hello,
I''ve followed along the tutorial and hit a roadblock here:
------------------------------
My example will use:
http://host/rails
as the directory, so:
Alias /rails /home/scott/rails/public
At this point you ought to be able to go to:
http://localhost/rails
and see the congratulations screen.
-----------------------------
I don''t see a congratulations screen, but instead see 403 forbidden
you don''t have permission to access /rails/ on this server.

Fixed the problem. Basically I followed this tutorial with no problems : http://www.leetsoft.com/rails/lesson3.html Nice tutorial. This needs to be ON rubyonrails.org and HYPERLINKED right on the HOMEPAGE... FOR WINDOWS / APACHE USERS, LOOK HERE FIRST. I basically was screwing up and typing in this : http://localhost/rails when all I needed to do was add rails to my hosts file as shown in the tutorial and then get to rails homepage with this: http://rails - ARRGHH... so simple !!! and PRESTO !
