I had a problem getting "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server."
after confirming all virtual host settings and folder permission are correct.
I’ve set $ sudo chown -R apache.apache /home/anthony/example.com
and $ sudo chmod -R 755 /home/anthony/example.com
but I still get the error.
When I looked /home, $ cd /home
$ ls -l
I saw the problem, anthony has 700 permission,
drwx------ 3 anthony anthony 115 Feb 7 22:54 anthony
so apache can’t get through anthony directory. My solution is to make anthony directory 750 sudo chmod 750 /home/anthony
and add apache user to anthony group sudo usermod -a -G anthony apache
Then restart apache
sudo service httpd restart
That solved the problem and I can now see my website.
Below is my VirtualHost Config
ServerAdmin email@example.com
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /home/anthony/example.com/public_html
<Directory “/home/anthony/example.com”>
AllowOverride None
# Allow open access:
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory “/home/anthony/example.com/public_html”>
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
