I have an application that has 3 sections - frontend, backend & portal. I have a .htaccess file with rewrite rules for the three sections so they resolve to; ‘/’, ‘/admin’ & ‘/portal’ respectively. This configuration works on my local machine just fine but when it’s deployed on Heroku and I visit the site root I get the error: You don’t have permission to access /frontend/web/ on this server.
The rewrite rules are working as I am redirected to the correct uri but there seems to be a permission error that I don’t understand.
I’ve checked out the logs and this is the error that is thrown:
Cannot serve directory /app/frontend/web/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html,index.htm) found, andserver-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
Below is my .htaccess file. Any help would be really appreciated, I’m struggling to figure this one out.
