Apache configuration error 403

I have followed this tutorial to configure http apache server: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Confined_Services/chap-Managing_Confined_Services-The_Apache_HTTP_Server.html

When I connected using

telnet localhost 12345
GET / HTTP/1.0

I got an error

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

and the default html of apache was listed below too. I tried to configure the

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

adding

<Directory "/var/www/html">
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 Require all granted
</Directory>

and also ran

chmod -R o+x /var/www/html

and I'm still getting the same error. How do I proceed?

Solution

  • Do you have a file called index.html inside /var/www/html/ directory? I would also suggest to check access and error logs files under /var/log/httpd directory
