Error 403 laravel

My laravel installation was working fine yesterday but today I get the following error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Does anyone know where I am going wrong?

For me, It was just because I had a folder in my public_html named as same as that route!
so please check if you don’t have a folder with the address of that route!

hope be helpful

Check your virtual host configuration.
For Ubuntu you could find it at /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourlaravel.conf
It should be like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourlaravel.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/laravel/project/public"
ServerAlias *.yourlaravel.com

<Directory "/path/to/your/laravel/project/public">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

The key line is Require all granted inside <Directory>.

Hope it helps!

With me the problem appeared to be about the fact that there was no index.php file in the public_html folder. When I typed in this address however: http://azxcvfj.org/public , it worked (this address is just an example. It points to nowhere). This made me think and eventually I solved it by doing the following.

I made a .htaccess file in the app’s root folder (the public_html folder) with this contents:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ public/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

And this worked. With this file you are basically saying to the server (Apache) that whenever someone is trying to access the public html folder(http://azxcvfj.org) that someone who is being redirected is redirected to http://azxcvfj.org/public/index.php

First, update your Virtual Host configuration;

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example-project/public
    <Directory /var/www/html/example-project/public/>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then, change both permission and ownership of the asset as illustrated below.

$ sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/html/example-project
$ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/example-project

This is solved my problem by adding this line:

DirectoryIndex index.php

If you have tried all .htaccess answers from comments and none of them worked, it’s possible that actually you have bad APP_URL in you .env config file.
That worked for me.

Check your project root directory index.php file. I think your index.php file missing.

<?php

/**
 * Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
 *
 * @package  Laravel
 * @author   Taylor Otwell <taylor@laravel.com>
 */

$uri = urldecode(
    parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH)
);

// This file allows us to emulate Apache's "mod_rewrite" functionality from the
// built-in PHP web server. This provides a convenient way to test a Laravel
// application without having installed a "real" web server software here.
if ($uri !== '/' && file_exists(__DIR__.'/public'.$uri)) {
    return false;
}

require_once __DIR__.'/public/index.php';

then check your project root directory .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
            Options -MultiViews -Indexes
        </IfModule>
    
        RewriteEngine On
    
        # Handle Authorization Header
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
        RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    
        # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
        RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
    
        # Send Requests To Front Controller...
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

I hope your problem solved thank you.

Remember that Laravel’s project root is /public

The solution for me was so simple it was silly — I had moved my folders and updated the paths in my Apache server’s virtual hosts configuration (extra/httpd-vhosts.conf for XAMPP), but had forgotten that Laravel’s app root is located at /public. Simply updating:

D:UsersMeDocumentsProjectsWebsitesmyproject

to

D:UsersMeDocumentsProjectsWebsitesmyprojectpublic

…and then restarting the server solved the issue.

In my case, the index.php file was missing from the Laravel root project, this also caused 403 error forbidden, creating a new file and put this code on it got the job done.

<?php

/**
 * Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
 *
 * @package  Laravel
 * @author   Taylor Otwell <taylor@laravel.com>
 */

define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));

/*

|
*/

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

/*

*/

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';

/*

|
| Once we have the application, we can handle the incoming request
| through the kernel, and send the associated response back to

*/

$kernel = $app->make(IlluminateContractsHttpKernel::class);

$response = $kernel->handle(
    $request = IlluminateHttpRequest::capture()
);

$response->send();

$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

For me this was simply calling route() on a named route that I had not created/created incorrectly. This caused the Forbidden error page.

Restarting the web server allowed proper Whoops! error to display:

Route [my-route-name] not defined.

Fixing the route name ->name('my-route-name') fixed the error.

This is on Laravel 5.5 & using wampserver.

I had this error and i just pasted the http://127.0.0.1:8000/ directly into the url bar.
you get the below when you type : php laravel serve

i was putting in localhost/http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to get the error you mentioned.

У меня вот такая проблема
Раньше работал на винде и использовал OpenServer
Потом поставил линукс и решил как истинный джедай сам собрать связку apache + php + mysql
Вроде как-то собрал.
Но когда я поставил Laravel при попытки захода на главную страницу мне выдается ошибка «403 — Forbidden»

В логе ошибок написанно следующеие

[Sun Jul 13 03:22:03.532705 2014] [autoindex:error] [pid 29735] [client 127.0.0.1:37242] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /home/volk/web/vi.dev/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

Как я понял это ларавель жалуется на отсутствие индексных файлов
Но ведь когда я точно таким же способом устанавливал на laravel на OpenServer и там тоже не было индексных файлов, но всё равно все работало.

У меня когнитивный диссонанс, по логике вещей лаверль без index.php не должен был работать и на OpenServer.

Конфигурация виртуального хоста выглядит вот так.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName vi.dev
    ServerAlias www.vi.dev
    DocumentRoot /home/volk/web/vi.dev
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    <Directory "/home/volk/web/vi.dev">
        Require all granted
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    </Directory>    
</VirtualHost>

Подскажите что за колдовская сила заставляет ларваель работать без index.php в корневой папке сайта?

И каким образом сделать чтобы он заработал и у меня?

1. Как я понял это ларавель жалуется на отсутствие индексных файлов

Это стандартная ошибка (на самом деле предупреждение) Apache, говорит о том, что в папке, куда ты зашёл через браузер без указания файла (http://foo/folder/), нет index.html/php, поэтому он не может что-либо отобразить.

1. там тоже не было индексных файлов

Как же не было, public/index.php не в счёт?

1. DocumentRoot /home/volk/web/vi.dev

Неверно — у тебя корень сайта — корень фреймворка, а это должна быть папка public. Именно там находится Laravel-овский index.php. <Directory>, кстати, лишняя — обычно эти настройки уже и так заданы по умолчанию.

Спасибо, я использовал вот такую конифигурацю

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName vi.dev
    ServerAlias www.vi.dev
    DocumentRoot /home/volk/web/vi.dev/public
    ServerAdmin me@localhost
    <Directory "/home/volk/web/vi.dev">
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

и кажется проблема с 403 исчезла. Теперь вместо неё сообщение Mcrypt PHP extension required.
сейчас буду разбираться как приделать mcrypt к php.

P.S.
Directory все таки важна, так как по умолчанию apache хочет чтобы сайты были вот тут /var/www/html, а я хочу чтобы они лежали в ~/web (созданная мной папка), чтобы каждый раз не заморачиваться с sudo при работе с сайтами.

1. Заказать VPS/VDS.
2. Не использовать фреймворк.
3. Залить Laravel в корень (туда, где лежит public_html, htdocs или www) и попробовать поставить симлинк между public_html и public.
