Apache configuration: ghost in the machine...
 

Hi, I need a little help here, trying to stay sane. I've been trying to set
up Apache on Fedora Core 3. I gotten to the standard welcome page. My next step was to
create my phpinfo.php file which has the simple code of <?php phpinfo() ?>. When
I direct my browser to localhost/phpinfo.php the page works. Now here is the
wierd part. I can't see any other files that I create in the same directory. For
example I tried a simple test.html file, didn't work. Then I even copied the
working phpinfo.php file and named it test.php and THAT didn't work. I checked the
permissions of the files, they are exactly the same down to the user and group. Any
thoughts on this one?? Thanks in advance for any help. -Craig

What do you see when you click on this pages?

I forgot to mention, there error I'm getting is:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /test.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) Server at localhost Port 80

it sounds like a permission problem within Apache, you already knew that according to your first post. The odd thing is that this files are on the same directory, maybe if we looked at your httpd.conf file we might be able to see something.
