Thread:Project:Support desk/Installing Mediawiki on a local WIMP setup - 403 Error

I am completely new to MediaWiki and server/database setups (I've had a little bit of programming experience in C and Visual Basic as a EE). I'm trying to follow Brion Vibber's book, Working with MediaWiki to develop a Wiki. I've attempted to setup a WIMP server on my local Windows 7 desktop by installing the individual components(IIS 7.5 ,PHP 5.5 ,MySQL 5.2.47,MediaWiki 1.21.1) using this guideline: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows. I unpacked MediaWiki here: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mymw. When I type http://localhost/mymw into my browser I get:

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden

The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

I noticed that under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mymw there is a LocalSettings.php even though the book indicates it shouldn't exist yet. Do you have any suggestions for getting around this error? I'd also be interested in any general tutorials on MediaWiki and server/database setups. I understand that it might be wise to move towards a wiki farm or Linux based (LAMP) setup.
