Forbidden You don t have permission to access on this server

Question

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    lt Directory   gt      Options FollowSymLinks     AllowOverride None     Order deny allow     Deny from all  lt  Directory gt   DocumentRoot  c  Apache24 htdocs   lt Directory  c  Apache24 htdocs  gt      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks     AllowOverride All     Require all granted  lt  Directory gt    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

Solution is just simple   If you are trying to access server using your local IP address and you are getting error saying like Forbidden You don t have permission to access   on this server  Just open your httpd conf file from  in my case C  wamp bin apache apache2 2 21 conf httpd conf   Search for    lt Directory  D  wamp www   gt              lt  Directory gt   Replace  Allow from 127 0 0 1  to  Allow from all  Save changes and restart your server   Now you can access your server using your IP address

Found my solution thanks to Error with  htaccess and mod rewrite For Apache 2 4 and in all   conf files  e g  httpd-vhosts conf  http conf  httpd-autoindex conf   etc  use  Require all granted   instead of  Order allow deny Allow from all   The Order and Allow directives are deprecated in Apache 2 4

The problem lies in https conf file     Virtual hosts   Include conf extra httpd-vhosts conf   The error occurs when hash    is removed or messed around with  These two lines should appear as shown above

WORKING Method   if there is no problem other than configuration    By Default Appache is not restricting access from ipv4   common external ip   What may restrict is the configurations in  httpd conf   or  apache2 conf  depending on your apache configuration   Solution   Replace all    lt Directory   gt       AllowOverride none     Require all denied   lt  Directory gt    with   lt Directory   gt       AllowOverride none      Require all denied   lt  Directory gt    hence removing out all restriction given to Apache  Replace Require local with  Require all granted at C  wamp www  directory   lt Directory  c  wamp www   gt      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks     AllowOverride all     Require all granted     Require local  lt  Directory gt
