Installation Documentation etc

[aljohnson2601]

I am completely new to os commerce. I can write "OK" PHP code. I am looking for a paint by numbers installation proceedure to install it on my computer for site design. I have an Apache, PHP, MySql environment set up in a Windows environment on my computer.

 

I fumbled through the installation on my own. I completed the installation and it says it was completed successfully. When I test it at the final screen I receive:

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /catalog/install/://localhost/index.php on this server

 

My entries for the various screens during installation are below. I am sure some of these are wrong. Perhaps I need complete paths etc. The password etc that I am using should not be a problem since they work with other functioning php / mysql scripts currently running on the computer. I would appreciate any help, advice, or reference documentation.
