Question
App Platform: No matching DirectoryIndex

Asked by SleepingAquamarineAxolotl
I’ve setup a new App to host my Symfony project. The app has built fine and files are located in /workspace/ but when trying to access the app I receive a 403 and logs show Cannot serve directory /workspace/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive.
I believe this is because the index.php for Symfony is within /workspace/public/ but I cannot see how to update the config for this, I also can’t see a way to gain root access to look further into the configuration.
How would I resolve this?

Hi there,
Indeed the DigitalOcean App Platform does not come with root access, if you want to have root access you could go with a Droplet instead:
Regarding the issue that you are seeing, I believe that you should be able to update your App Platform run the command
heroku-php-apache2 public/so that the web server itself will be started with the correct document root.Here is an example PHP project that you could reference:
https://github.com/thedevdojo/wave/blob/main/.do/deploy.template.yaml
It is based on Laravel but the approach should be similar.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
