title: 403 error on Apache for a laravel project, after upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10
body: <p>I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10.  At first when running apache after the update, there were missing/broken files, so I simply re-installed apache.  I backed up the vhost file.  </p>
  
  <p>When trying to access my Laravel project from the browser, it get a 403 error.  I have changed the permissions of the root folder multiple times, but it is still forbidden.  I do not believe this is a laravel problem, as I already fixed it on 13.04, and I am using the same files.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my 000-default.conf file, located in /sites-enabled and /sites-available. My apache2.conf file is unchanged since install.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      DocumentRoot /home/brennan/development/MasonACM/public
  
      &lt;Directory /&gt;
          Options FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride None
      &lt;/Directory&gt;
  
      &lt;Directory /home/brennan/development/MasonACM/public/&gt;
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          AllowOverride All
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
      &lt;/Directory&gt;
  
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
      LogLevel warn
      CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It should also be important to note that my .htaccess file is not missing, and hasn't been changed since the site was working on 13.04.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>I have apache's host settings working now, but now the browser is displaying the actual code of index.php, meaning apache isn't using php for some reason.  I just checked that php was installed, so why wouldn't apache recognize it?</p>
