Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /abcd/ on this server

Question

I am running a CentOS 6.9 OS . I have Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server running. I have a cakephp 2 application that I want to run here. I have an index.php file inside /var/www/html that runs perfectly. I have another folder called test inside /var/www/html .

Inside that folder there is an index.php file. Test folder also runs perfectly. But whenever I try to run the cakephp application from the browser I get the message I don't have permission to access that folder. The cakephp application has 0777 permission. Inside my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file there is written -

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

So I don't know what I am doing wrong and what more I can do.

Answer 1

hi dude please find and edit httpd.conf file, which is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. and paste the code below

<Directory "/">
#Options FollowSymLinks
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/">
 #Options FollowSymLinks
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
 AllowOverride None
 Allow from all
</Directory>

Then kindly restart the server if the problem still appear

disable the seLinux in /etc/selinux/config change SELINUX=disabled and restart the server it again hope it works now ^_^

restorecon -r /var/www/html does the job
