windows-7

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to web development and I'm trying to set up a local server using WAMP.

My problem is when I try to access localhost or localhost/index.php I get a 403 error. I can access http://localhost/myphpadmin so I think this is a permissions issue but I have full access (or so I think) over the folder.

Thanks
