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

Hello

I’m new to WP.

I restored my an existing WP instance (incl. pretty url’s, networking/multisite) on a new server, and it all worked fine, except the url rewriting didn’t work properly. I changed some configurations at my .htaccess file and the vhost file at /etc/apache2/sitesavailable/mysite.conf and suddently the page didn’t load at all anymore. Only a 403 Forbidden message is being thrown.

I’m using ubuntu server and apache 2 with virtual hosts.

content of .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /var/www/html/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
