Apache 2 on Ubuntu shows 403 forbidden on certain urls

Question

I have a Zend Framework application. Almost all of my urls work fine. However, any url that starts with /resources gives me a 403 forbidden error (eg: /resources/add, /resources/edit). The strange thing is, when I tested it on my Windows machine via XAMP, everything worked fine. Is there something special about urls starting with /resources that makes Apache2 think it should not allow access?

Answer 1

Your issue seems a permissions problem, nothing related to URLs. Check directories to be 755 and files 644 in the Ubuntu server where you deployed your application.

Run this in the root directory of your application and should get you going:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
