Hi @ixtambay,
The error you’ve mentioned is actually related to an Nginx setup rather than an Apache one.
Having said that, can you please post your virtual configuration file of the domain example.com so that I can let you know if there is an actual problem with it.
Additionally, in the said virtual host file, you most probably specified a an Error Log, check the error log to see why the 403 error is being generated.
