Apache / php "clickable error messags"

but I get 403 Forbidden

[GrapefruiTgirl]

Heya all :) OK, my Apache 2.0.59 works fine, and php 4.4.2 is installed and working fine as well.. No functional or scripting issues whatsoever. This is set up as a design/testing server on WinXP.
But! I have enabled the "Clickable Error Messages" so php-error messages from the server contain a link to the php Manual for detailed error info.
The links are present in the error messages, but when I click one, I get a 403 Forbidden (you don't have access to "/blah/blah/PHPManual on this server...")
I have googled everything I could find, read and reread the .conf and .ini files and relevant sections of the PHP manual and Apache manual.. I have looked into the error.log & access.log but there isn't much of use there, though the access errors are indeed logged in there. And I searched webmasterworld for anything on this issue, but came up empty.
I feel this is a simple config or permissions issue, but I can't find it :(
Any suggestions appreciated :)

In your server error log, carefully examine the path that your server attempted to access when you clicked on one of these error message links. That will need to be a correct filepath that will work on your computer, and one that Apache can read.

LOL.. Ya know, I think my EARLYYY morning brilliance blinded me into dense-ness.. I had downloaded the PHP Manual as ONE html file; rather, I think I should have downloaded the version with "MANY" html files.. :)
I am doing this now..
Meanwhile, I have gotten it to give me a file not found instead of the 403 Forbidden, as I did have the path wrong at first, but eventually got it right a whole bunch of times, but the files just aren't there!
Lesson: Don't work with config files too early in the day..
Will update again after download (Im on dialup :( )
Thanks Jim ;)

UPDATE: Success! I needed the MANY html files version of the manual. initially I must have had the path incorrect so was getting the 403. I don't remember exactly what that incorrect path was, but now, with all the individual html help files in the right path in the htdocs folder, it works like a charm ;)
Thank you Jim, and sorry for my early morning denseness detracting you from others who REALLY need help and arent half asleep :)
