Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I looked on google but couldn't find much solutions.

Please help, thanks.

What is your DocumentRoot ?
What aliases have you defined?
Which control panel are you using?
What is the output of 'uname -a' ?
Show the output of 'rpm -q httpd'.

[LifeMushroom]

What is your DocumentRoot?

Code: Select all

[LifeMushroom@vps ~]$ grep -i 'DocumentRoot' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/"
DocumentRoot /var/www/lmlair.ddns.net
DocumentRoot "/var/www/testboard.ddns.net"
[LifeMushroom@vps ~]$

What aliases have you defined?

I don't know what that is, so I don't think I made one.

Which control panel are you using?

I don't use one, unless you mean Webmin?

What is the output of 'uname -a' ?

Code: Select all

[LifeMushroom@vps ~]$ uname -a
Linux vps.lmlair.ddns.net 2.6.32-042stab105.14 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 20:06:37 MSK 2015 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[LifeMushroom@vps ~]$

Show the output of 'rpm -q httpd'.

Code: Select all

[LifeMushroom@vps ~]$ rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.2.15-39.el6.centos.i686
[LifeMushroom@vps ~]$

You are not running a CentOS kernel, so that eliminates most of my suggestions.
Check your logs to find the exact file that is not readable.

This message gets repeatedly a lot. Any idea how to fix?

How about changing the options to allow FollowSymLinks?

[LifeMushroom]

Thanks!
I added Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch to the top of .htaccess and everything's working fine!
