Answer 1

You may be encountering the same problem as the StackOverflow user describing his 403 Error with Passenger .

The recommendation, after checking your error log (the way you have configured it, it is likely in /var/log/apache2/error.log ) and confirming that you are seeing a client denied by server configuration issue, would be to add Require all granted within your <Directory> block in the virtual host file. So, your block would look like this:

<Directory "/home/pedro/projects/meuapp/public">
  Require all granted
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
</Directory>
