[news.eclipse.technology.phoenix] Unable to get WTP/PHPEclipse/XAMPP to

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm working on converting the PTP pages http://eclipse.org/ptp to Phoenix.

I downloaded Eclipse 3.1.2, WTP and its prereqs (the convenient 
all-in-one download), PHPEclipse, and XAMPP.
I configured PhpEclipse and XAMPP like the instructions said, more or 
less (instructions were in a backlevel of some of the parts.)

While the editor does have nice colors of keywords etc.
I cannot get the PHP Browser to work.
I can start XAMPP with the button in the toolbar and it reports
### APACHE + MYSQL IS STARTING NOW ###

If I double-click on a php file I get it in the editor,
but the PHP Browser reports "Access Forbidden!  You don't have 
permission to access the requested object.  It is either read-protected 
or not readable by the server."

I've gotten a few pages done at http://eclipse.org/ptp/index2.php
by checking them in and testing there, but I'd prefer to remove
more bugs *before* checking them in.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
