basic install question; apache configuration

[dmc_lat47]

trying to install testlink, and am stymied by apache basics.
sorry... not really a unix person.

After I untar the files into /var/testlink, don't i need to put something in the httpd.conf file, or the conf.d directory to tell apache about it?

I tried:

<Directory /var/testlink>
AddHandler php .php
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

but then when I try to continue with the automatic installation... http://mysite/testlink/install/index.php

I get a 403, forbidden. Permissions on the directory looks right... bugzilla and svn are working in other locations...

any help would be appreciated.

Check permissions. Apache probably cannot read from the directory.
