I have 5 web app projects in my local machine with Ubuntu 12.04 installed on it. Everything was good, but today when I started a new project with symphony, I found that I should upgrade php to 5.4.x, so I did it and upgraded to apache2 too. After these updates I restarted my PC [for some reasons] and now I see a 403 forbidden page (from apache2 web-server) for all of my projects.
I didn't change permissions or the Apache virtual host configuration, nothing and nothing. Just after restart I see 403 forbidden!

  • I'm beginner in Ubuntu so if you want any information about users, groups, or... please say how can I find it for you, thanks
  • I tried to change the whole web-root directory permission to 777 and change user:group to www-data or root, but nothing happened.
  • APACHE 2.4.6
    PHP 5.5.5-1
  • example, this is the thenetmoon project and it was done with symfony, but apache can't access the web folder :

  • With the packaged version of Apache an error like this would mean that www-data can't access that particular folder. You are using a non packaged version of Apache, thus I'd say you might have not configured it properly. Since you are a beginner I'd advise you to uninstall Apache 2.4.6 and install the packaged version (2.2.22).

  • By "packaged version" I mean that available from the official repos. You can check it here: packages.ubuntu.com/… Good thing that you solved it.

finally I found what happened. after reading about apache 2.4.*, I have changed APACHE Configuration file. so I added this line in <Directory> scope:
Require all granted
and after that, sudo service apache2 restart , and now everything goes fine.

Here is the Apache documentation relevant for this fix: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#access
