Among many other common errors 403s are very regular in both Mage Apache 2.2x and 2.4x versions. Here we’ll  try to draw out the simple solution for both Apache versions if 403s arises.

In case if we find ourselves in such situation where we can’t access to our Mage site and it’s showing a 403 forbidden errors. In such situation, we can simply take following steps to sort it out:

• First we can simply update our Magento Apache Config.
• Or using one of the following directives so the clients can have access in our Mage site.

Apache 2.4x – Solving 403s

Here we’ll display an example using a sample among (Require) directives. Here below we can see an example of solving 403 Forbidden errors in Mage Apache 2.4 site. So the visitors can access the Mage site.

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride <value from Apache site>

Order allow,deny

Require all granted

</Directory>

Here make a note: in every scenario the preceding values for Order might not work. All further information are given inside Apache Documentation file.
