AH01797: client denied by server configuration

[Onlyme]

Hi all,

I've got one user causing this error and I can't get my head around what's wrong.

AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/forums (I don't have directory /forums so why that is there is beyond me)

cd /var/www/htm/forums
-bash: cd: /var/www/htm/forums: No such file or directory

When I check the access log on the times above it seems each on is accessing the rss feed.

Searching online says to check if my htaccess is incorrect?



<Directory /var/www/>
Options All -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
<LimitExcept POST GET>
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

Anything wrong with that? Apache 2.4.

Does it need <LimitExcept POST GET OPTIONS>?

Seems that was the issue. Instantly realised soon as I posted all the information here lol.
