Hi there @cetinodinson,

What I could suggest is checking your Apache error log for some more information on why it is returning the 403 Forbidden error.

You can do that by first accessing your website to trigger the 403 error, then accessing your server, and then running:

  1. tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log

Feel free to share the log here so I could try and advise you further. Regards, Bobby
