I am trying to deploy my Laravel app in apache2 locally, however when trying to browse to http://myapp.localhost.com/ I am getting the following error:

Forbidden

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

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at myapp.localhost.com Port 80

I created myapp.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available to set up the virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName myapp.localhost.com
  DocumentRoot "/home/user/projects/myapp/public"
  <Directory "/home/user/projects/myapp/public">
    AllowOverride all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And created a symlink in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (sudo ln -s ../sites-available/myapp.conf)

Also edited the /etc/hosts file and added:

127.0.0.1   myapp.localhost.com

Any clue why I am getting this error? I am also having the same problem when trying to deploy the application to heroku, which also uses apache2.

I am missing the 

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

in your myapp.conf. As of Apache-2.4 mod_authz_host is used and Require (example Require all granted) should be used.

By the way... this:

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

I remember from the apache as the default when using httpd.conf. Are you sure the sites-*/* are being used?

In your VirtualHost write the DocumentRoot to point to your Laravel Application in your home directories. In addition you must add the Directory shown below, with your own path.

<Directory /home/john/Laravel_Projects/links/public/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        Require all granted
</Directory>

The second step, you must go to your Laravel Project and run the following command.

sudo chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache

At the end restart your apache2:

sudo service apache2 restart
