In this guideline from Magento2 there are talking about how to solve the 403 forbidden errors for Apache 2.4, and they are saying that I have to put this:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride <value from Apache site>
    Order allow,deny
    Require all granted
</Directory>

in "your Apache configuration or your virtual host configuration". Now my questions:

1. where is that Apache configuration file? and/or where is my virtual host configuration file?
2. in the above tag, what is the value of "<value from Apache site>"? where can I find it?

Please note that my Magento2 directory is "/var/www/Magento2"

Thanks in advance :)

  • This varies from system to system. Ask your hoster or add information about your operating system.

make sure you have permissions correct, before you set Require all granted.
ususally AllowOverride <value from Apache site> = AllowOverride All


to find your config:

httpd -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG

or like this

httpd -S

  • when I'm running any of the commands you have posted, I am getting: "No command 'httpd' found, did you mean" then it list another three commands..... just to make it clear, I am asking about where to place that <Directory /var/www/> tag ... do those commands return the path of that file?

  • YMMV of course but for Apache 2.4, look here: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf. For Apache 2.2, look here: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

  • Add it to the appropriate <Directory> directive, such as the one you show in your original comment.
