Laravel 8 Project Hosting 403 Error

I try this by artisan::call but it returns a 404 error. Yes, all directories set to 755 and all the files to 644.

Set debug=true in .env file and copy/paste the error code here.

I set debug: true but it returns the same error of 403

Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Which hosting provider is it ? And how did you handle server setup staff ?

I use go daddy hosting. My dad handle server setup staff. Tell me which requirement is required.

As I know, godaddy is shared hosting, so the setup could be different, are you pointing to correct document root directory ? it should be public folder.

@imeda yes the website is http://theaconnection.com I delete all files of the project and again making a zip and then again upload it to the server.

If the document root is correct, then it has to be the problem with file permissions. If you are not aware how it works, just set 777 on your storage folder and see if it helps, but don't forget to revert it back (its a bad thing for security). You can copy storage folder into another folder and then change the permissions, then see if it works and remove the storage folder again, and rename the copied folder to its original name (storage).

If you are not aware how to change file permissions in godaddy admin panel, just google it.

Tell me if it helps, 403 could be caused by a lot of things and you have to try some things, before you figure it out.

Yeah, but you had to change document root in your apache configuration. It you have shared hosting, it has to be somewhere in the admin panel.

Quick check: Make an index.html or index.php file in your project and see if it changes something.

@imeda Yeah I create an index.html file and it works fine. but when I try to access the page through routes it returns a 403 error. How can I solve this issue?

Sorry for the late response,

Then it's an issue, with the server configuration. Do you have ssh access to the server ? If not this can be helpful https://uk.godaddy.com/help/change-a-secondary-domains-root-folder-in-linux-hosting-16170. If you have access to the server, tell me which web server do you use ? apache or nginx ?

@imeda apache

document root

/public_html/web/

or need to change.

I also want to ask that after deployment every folder and file remains the same as in localhost or need to change any file or folder location or name

or need to change any file or folder location or name

See https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/deployment#introduction

Change document root to /public_html/web/public if your project is web, if not, change it to /path/to/your/project/public

@imeda Thanks this works for me.

@neoighodaro I don't make any change in the .htaccess file. it is default from the laravel project

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Send Requests To Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

@alidamar Check your path to the public folder

@msaad path is true,

@alidamar My error is solved just by checking and updating my path to the public folder

My Updated path which works for me: public_html/theaconnection.com/public
