403 forbidden - permission to access / on this server issue

[Cheslia]

For hours I have been searching everywhere and trying LOTS of suggestions to get this working and nothing is working, so forgive if I am posting something that has been said before.

Using Docker Toolbox on my Windows 10 machine

Dockerfile: FROM php:7-apache EXPOSE 80

docker-compose.yml: version: '2' services: webserver: build: ./docker/webserver image: dcebooks1 ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" volumes: - /DockerImage/www:/var/www/html links: - db

db: image: mysql:5.7 ports: - "3306:3306" volumes: - ./db:/var/lib/mysql environment: - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=docker - MYSQL_DATABASE=db_runwaytest

The container loads just fine. I can see them running when I do a docker ps -a. And when I hit it with the web server, I can see it responding, so I know it is making the connection at the standard docker IP 192.168.99.100. But on my browser (Chrome) I get this error:

You don't have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at 192.168.99.100 Port 80

And on the actual docker web server I can see this: AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

In my /DockerImage/www directory which should point to /var/www/html, I have an index.php file that simply calls phpinfo().

I wanted to try to put a .conf file in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory but there isn't an httpd directory for some reason. And I can't find where I should put the .conf file so I can get around the Options directive or even where the httpd.conf file is located so it can be altered.

I sure hope someone can help as I really don't know where to go next. Thanks in advance.

[abduallahnoorsayket]

I got the same issue.

[anjneeksharma]

I also got the same issue.

[ehoetzer]

I had the same problem today. In my case, the folder shared with the docker container also was shared with the VirtualBox host. Inside the VM and the docker container all files were owned by root, and I wasn't able to grant read access to anyone else (guess because of rights management by Virtual Box). In effect the apache user (webmaster) was denied read access to the files in /var/www/html I finally solved the problem by copying the whole folder into another folder inside the VM and granting read access with chmod -R 755

This may be old though if anyway is still looking for an answer @ehoetzer is correct with other Virtual Machines being the issue. I was stumped for ages and finally 'killed' all the services related to VMware (or any other virtual machine in use) and my 403 error was resolved after flushing DNS. Just a heads up for anyone that may come across this.
