Issue

I followed this instructions to be able to host files outside of the htdocs directory, but I alwyas get 'Access Forbidden' (https://gyazo.com/af49cb00720fa4bd80e969320bd51042).

The file those permissions: $ ls -l ~/Documents/code/xampp/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 julian users 3337 Apr 10 2017 test.php How do i fix this issue ?

Solution

Aache is not able to execute the php file, because apache don't have permission to execute the test.php file.

Try giving permission to the file.

sudo chmod +x test.php

Any user can execute the file.So change the file group to www-data and give executable permission.

sudo chown root:www-data test.php

sudo chmod 775 test.php
