[FIXED] 403 Forbidden Error on MAMP

Issue

I try to run my local applications on MAMP PRO. Since now i run MAMP and everything works fine. Now i've changed to MAMP PRO because of the possibilities to generate more hosts and send email from local applications.

Now i have the problem that i can't access files in a directory.

I have checked indexes under Hosts->Extended which should solve this problem.

But it doesn't. I've found many articles but not anyone that solves my problem. I'm also not a specialist on server, but i think there must be a easy solution even in MAMP it works.

I've read something over Web-sharing but this was not clear described enough.

• MACOSX: 10.11.2
• MAMP PRO: 3.5

One failure in the log was:

"Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /folder/file.js"

But where i can change it generally.

Thanks for your Help. I'm very confused.

Solution

Sounds like a permission problem. Set the parent folder to "read only" for all and assign it to all folders/files below.
