title: Access forbidden! xampp on osx with custom directory?
body: <p>As you can see on the below picture, I tried to add <code>require all granted</code> and <code>allow from all</code>, but both didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>The error is 403. The exact text is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Access forbidden!
  
  You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
  
  If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am on osx and just downloaded the newest xampp version and reinstalled it and even tried different directories. I can't get it to work. There are a lot of answers to this question but most of them are "add require all granted" and "add allow from all" to the directory in your <code>httpd.conf</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The rights for the entire directory are 777, I double checked that as well.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a clue how that could be? </p>

  <p>Edit: Solution was to set read permission every folder in the path, not just the one where the files sit. </p>
