I have a nginx server running with a wordpress and Ajenti setup working like a champ. As well as gitlab and owncloud which both work, just not used.

But when I try to access a new setup, opencart, it gives me a 403 forbidden error.

I have the root folder in the same place as my other folders, and have even chmod777 the actual folder to attempt to get it to work with no success.

Error : 

2015/06/12 07:59:48 [error] 19784#0: *4 directory index of "/var/www/opencart/" is forbidden, client: 76.164.165.4, server: adminpanelz.us.to, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "adminpanelz.us.to:9000"

  • Is there anything inside the /var/www/opencart folder? Like e.g. a file index.php? Otherwise, the server will try to serve a directory listing, which it isn't allowed, so it issues a 403 instead.

    Can you retrieve the file info.php by name? As in: example.com/info.php?

Reset to default

If your browser requests a URL from the server that is not really a file but a directory, like http://example.com, the server looks in the directory for a file like index.htm, index.html, index.php and maybe others. If it can't find such a file, it may serve a "directory listing" instead, if you allow it. Otherwise, it will issue a 403 error.

info.php is not one of the files that can be served as default. So if you want to retrieve info.php you will have to call that by its full name.
