Hi all,

I am trying to install Silverstripe 2.4.3 but I get this "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server." (403) error all the time. I think it is a problem with the Apache configuration on the server. Silverstripe should be installed on a subdomain "dev.domain.com" so I created the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/dev.domain.com which contains the following lines:

Of course I have enabled the site by using:

And afterwards restarted Apache with

Now when I surf to the subdomain I get the following 403 error:

I have tried all kinds of things but I can't get it to work. One of the things I have tried is to edit httpd.conf and apache2.conf and set AllowOverride to All...doesn't make difference...

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I am kind of desperate right now...

(The whole subdomain directory is chmodded to 755 and is owned by the user/group www-data)

Still sounds like a file owner issue. Are you sure some of the files are owned by the webserver user?

Also does the .htaccess file have a RewriteBase line?
