Question

Forbidden when trying download file

Posted November 8, 2014 3k views

I have a directory which contains files. I can access that directory (domain.com/xxx) but I cannot download files in (domain.com/xxx/file.ex). When I click on the file, appear the message “403 Forbidden. You do not have permission to access this server /xxx/file.ex”. It also occurs on the main site.

Is there something wrong with the apache settings? But its fresh install.

    Hi! Can check if there are any errors in Apache’s error log?

    sudo tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

    Also – please post the output of the following command:

    stat /var/www/xxx/file.ex

    Make sure you replace /var/www with your DocumentRoot if that’s not it.

    Problem solved!
    Apparently one of the main script that I installed, automatically change the chmod all files to be (0600/-rw——-).
    I’ve remove it and chmod doesn’t change automatically.
