This was frustrating until I realized some of the configuration options I have been using for so long when configuring a virtual host in my local machine have been deprecated. Adding one line of code did the trick – Require all granted This is what I used to use:

<Directory "/websites/httpdocs/dummmy-website">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

And this is what I’m using now.

<Directory "/websites/httpdocs/eOpiates/website-dynamic/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
