How to solve “Access forbidden! You don’t have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 localhost Mon 24 Oct 2011 07:45:12 PM NPT Apache/2.2.17 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/1.0.0c PHP/5.3.5 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1” problem?

Some times while we wish to run any project on xamp or wamp or lampp we might this error message as:

Access forbidden!

You don’t have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

This is due to the permission problem. By default we don’t have permission to access files so we need to change its permission. I have installed my xampp on /opt/lampp/ folder and my project folder name is testproject. To avoid this error i have granted permission as:

sudo chmod -R 0777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/testproject

After running this code on terminal. It works fine.

    @onthusiste Mpejane: command ā€œsudo chmod -R 0777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/testprojectā€ is used for setting the permission of file or folder as a super user. For more information please search it in google or your favorite search engines.
