I'm sorry if this is a repeated question, but i have tried all the possible solutions from the other answers...
I just installed apache, php5, ..., the works
I can access http://localhost and get the apache index.html located at /var/www
I did the following:
in sites-available:
sudo cp default mydefault
opened it and got this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
So i changed DocumentRoot /var/www
to my folder and <Directory /var/www>
to my folder.
Inside this Directory tag, i changed Allow Override
to All
and inserted DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
I saved, and ran
sudo chmod 755 /myDirectory
sudo a2dissite default && sudo a2ensite mydefault
sudo service apache2 restart
And still get 403 forbidden when accessing http://localhost
Any help wil be appreciated, thanks
