Craft Installation - Getting a Forbidden Error A forbidden error appears and can't get it to disappear. I've gone through the installation process several times and everything else works.

When I load the URL "test.craft.dev", I get back "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server."

Things I've tried:

1) db.php

$craftPath = '../craft';


2) folder structure

/craft/..
/public/index.php


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I get this error it is usually because the top craft directory isn't readable. When you unzip the original craft zip file, you get something like this:

drwx------@ 5 m  staff       170 Jul  8 14:47 Craft-2.1.2563


And that top directory (the one that contains craft and public) needs to be readable by apache.
