Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server

All I wanted to do today was to write a redirect rule to a subfolder, e.g.: You enter the URL: example.com and you get redirected to example.com/subfolder Such a simple wish. I tried to find a solution on the internet. The internet told me to add an .htaccess file in the htdocs root with: ``` RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^$ subfolder [L] ``` I did this. But no success obviously, they didn't told me I had to uncomment the module in httpd.conf: ``` LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so ``` So I did this too. No success again. They didn't told me I had to change my httpd.conf so that the .htaccess file would be enabled: ``` <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all </Directory> DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/htdocs" <Directory "c:/Apache24/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ``` Again no success, because I get this error when entering the URL: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Now I'm stuck and I couldn't find any more solutions on the internet. I'm just running Apache 2.4 on my Windows 7 machine, for private reasons.
