Re: 403 error on Default Directory

["J. Stephens" <onlineworkmail@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think I found the real issue. 

In the vhosts it has 

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^test.remcycle.net [NC]
    RewriteRule   ^/(.*)$ /$1  
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^www.test.remcycle.net [NC]
    RewriteRule   ^/(.*)$ /$1  

After removing this and restarting the website seems to work. I will be doing a little reading on the rewrite engine to find out why this causes the 403 error, but I believe this to be the root cause of the issue.

I guess I need to be asking why it needs access to the root of the computer

and not just the website directory.

It doesn't.  That's a URL in the error message, not the root of your filesystem.
