Re: always says "Forbidden", what's the matter?

Yes, it all works! Thank you very much for your help!

PS: The <Directory> section for Apache 2.4 is:
<Directory /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Based on that error, the server is using /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/ as the document root and not /var/www.

If you allow Apache to access /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/ or change the document root, it should work fine.

The easiest way is probably to find the config section that starts with something like <Directory /var/www and copy it with /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/ instead.

Yes, I checked, the log only says:"client denied by server configuration: /home/zh/workspace/testhtml/hello.html". I could not get any idea from this simple log.

Did you check the error log? It should tell you exactly what the problem is.

Hi,

I'm using Apache 2.4.6 on Ubuntu, I have a html file hello.html located in the /var/www. When I type in http://localhost/hello.html and press return in the browser, I was always told "Forbidden, You don't have permission to access /hello.html on this server.". But I have checked everything and can not understand why it doesn't work. Could you please help me with this problem? Thank you.
