Error message “Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server” [closed]

Answer 1

On Ubuntu 14.04 using Apache 2.4, I did the following:

Add the following in the file, apache2.conf (under /etc/apache2):

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Require all granted

and reload the server:

sudo service apache2 reload

Edit: This also works on OS X Yosemite with Apache 2.4. The all-important line is

Require all granted
