Question
nginx 403 forbidden ...
- Posted January 11, 2014
I used this article https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-virtual-hosts-server-blocks-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts--3 to setup virtual hosts on nginx but I’m getting a 403 forbidden error.
The article tells us to do this to set permissions
You can replace the "www-data" below with the appropriate username. sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html Additionally, it is important to make sure that everyone is able to read our new files. sudo chmod 755 /var/www
I therefore did this with my username
sudo chown -R username:username /var/www/example.com/public_html
but I’m still getting the 403 forbidden errror. Do you know anything I can try?

@doper408: Simply replace index.html with your own index.html that you want to use and you should be fine. If it’s a PHP app, replace index.html with your own index.php file and make sure the <code>index</code> directive is set to <code>index.php index.html</code> (e.g.: <code>index index.php index.html;</code>) in your nginx’s virtual host config.
Do you have a file called index.html in /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html?
Do you have a file called index.html in /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html?
Thanks, this was the output of ps -ef | grep nginx

<br>Therefore, was I correct to do this?
<br>sudo chown -R username:username /var/www/example.com/public_html
<br>
<br>This is what the tutorial says this
<br>
<br>You can replace the "www-data" below with the appropriate username. <br>sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html <br> <br>right now I'm signed in as michael` can I fix this problem
Using command in sudo chmod 777 -R folderpath
If your file structure is outside the default location, you might need to add the “username” to the “www-data” group. Replace username with the appropriate one for your environment.
usermod -aG username www-data
Hello I have resized a droplets and it gives me the following error: 403 Forbidden nginx / 1.14.0 (Ubuntu)
is on Ubuntu server 18 I have performed the procedures in this post and the problem persists. Can you help me with this?
Everything could be okay with your permissions. In my case, I got the same just because of wrong config. For example no or wrong php settings, no index.php as a root file or even wrong root folder.
Also your problem could be caused “sudo chmod 755 /var/www”, because it doesn’t contain -R flag. That’s important too.
