Apache 2.4 - 403 Forbidden: After Upgraded the Apache from 2.2.21 to 2.4.25 for all links

[Jayaram Ponnusamy <jayaram.ponnusamy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We have recently upgraded the Apache from 2.2.21 to 2.4.25 on RHEL6.9. Our Server Architecture is (F5 [For Load Balance] -> Apache WebServer [For Redirection & URL Mapping] -> Tomcat AppServer [Running a Java Based CMS]).

We are using Apache to connect Tomcat by MOD_JK and mapping the URL (Attached VirtualHost.conf), and No applications/code are running on WebServers.

PROBLEM:
After upgraded the Apache We have updated the Apche 2.4 Parameters like from "Allow from all" to "Require all granted". (Attached httpd.conf content)

Primarly our All URLs will starts with /sites and static_files will be starts with /file_system or /sf. So, these urls are working without any issue.
Apart from that if any other values for example http://site.com/news then its redirect to 403 page. Even we added below item in both httpd.conf & virtualhost.

<Directory /opt/apps/shared/file_system>
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Due to this issue, we still running our site with Apache 2.2.21. Kindly please let me know what i missed to Correct.

Thanks & Regards,

Jayaram
