Apache permission denied
apache, httpd.conf, permissions, php
Solution
This was the correct way to do it: (thanks to DaveRandom)
<Directory "C:/SITE/localhost/www">
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Dave Random explains further:
After a little experimentation with this, I have discovered the nuance that makes this the correct answer, which is specific to Apache 2.3+. It seems that `mod_authz_host` directives take precedence over `mod_access_compat` directives, and this bubbles all the way up the directory tree. What this means is that if you are migrating from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4 and you use your 2.2 `httpd.conf` verbatim, it will work.
If, however, you perform a new install of 2.4 and base your config on the default 2.4 `httpd.conf`, `Allow` directives won't work, because the default top level section uses a `Require all denied` directive instead of `Deny from all`, and this takes precedence over any subsequent `Allow` directives higher up the tree. The long of the short of this is that if you are migrating your Order/Allow/Deny directives to their equivalent Requires, then you must chance all of them or you will find you get 403s you weren't expecting.
Problem
I've just installed a new Apache 2.4.2 with Php fast cgi build on windows. Then I modified the httpd.conf adding the following: ``` LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "C:/SITE/PHP" AddHandler fcgid-script .php FcgidWrapper "C:/SITE/PHP/php-cgi.exe" .php DocumentRoot "C:/SITE/localhost/www" <Directory "C:/SITE/localhost/www"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ``` However when I try to open my site, it says: `Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.` Any ideas what might be the problem?
