[SOLVED] CakePHP You don't have permission to access /app/webroot/ on this server

Issue

I have a problem with CakePHP. I downloaded CakePHP and unzip framework to my project folder: ProjectCake. Then run my site(localhost): conrad.lh .The browser display: You don't have permission to access /app/webroot/ on this server.

Here are my files: /etc/apache2/ste-available/default

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost    
    DocumentRoot /home/conrad/Desktop/projects_java/ProjectCake

    <Directory /home/conrad/Desktop/projects_java/ProjectCake>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

/etc/apache2/site-available/conrad.lh

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName conrad.lh    
    DocumentRoot /home/conrad/Desktop/projects_java/ProjectCake

    <Directory /home/conrad/Desktop/projects_java/ProjectCake>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Can anyone help me ?

Solution

It's most likely a permissions issue. You need to give whatever user the web server is running as read (and possibly write) permissions.

As a temporary and unsecure option, run the following command on your project folder to verify that the issue is caused by a filesystem permissions restriction:

chmod 777 ProjectCake -R
