Editing How to fix the 403 forbidden error


How to fix the 403 forbidden error

== Error message ==
When I tried to browse the website, I met the following message:

<pre>
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

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

== Troubleshooting process ==

=== Check the SELinux policy if SELinux was enabled ===

The result of {{kbd | key=<nowiki>ls -Zd</nowiki>}} should contains "httpd_sys_content_t:"

<pre>
$ ls -Zd /path/to/website/
drwxr-xr-x. apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /path/to/website/
</pre>

=== Check the configuration of HTTP server ===

Check if home directory exists e.g. {{kbd | key=<nowiki>/path/to/website/</nowiki>}} in the configuration of HTTP server. The folder location of configuration files maybe located on {{kdb | key=<nowiki>/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/</nowiki>}} depends on the HTTP server environment.

<pre>
  <Directory /path/to/website/>
  ..
  </Directory>
</pre>

=== Check the syntax of .htaccess ===

Check if the syntax of .htaccess ({{kbd | key=<nowiki>/path/to/website/.htaccess</nowiki>}} ) correct.

=== More detail on HTTP server log ==
Log files maybe located on {{kdb | key=<nowiki>/var/log/httpd/</nowiki>}}
