DirectoryIndex : Forbidden Error


Some times you may get Forbidden error when you access the site in browser.

------
ERROR
------
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
------

When we check the apache logs, we will have the following errors.

-----
Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/site/public_html/
------

We can fix the issue by simply adding the following in the file ".htaccess".

-----
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
-----

Now, we can access the domain without any issue. Thats it.

Have a nice day :)
