Apache Error log shows the message “Client denied by server configuration” and the user sees “Forbidden Access” when they try to visit a web page.

Solution:

Search for the apache configuration file (httpd.conf or vhosts.conf if you have configured a virtual host). Check for the directory permission set for the document root of the web site in question and do the following changes.

Options IndexesFollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

Change this to

Options IndexesFollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow, deny
Allow from all

Restart apache web server to ensure that the effect of the settings take place.
