     | 
 
  | 
 
I was trying to set up archive-my-tweets (https://github.com/amwhalen/archive-my-tweets ) and I seem to have gotten stuck with a 403 error. When I remove the .htaccess file the 403 goes away but so do the rewrite rules so that's a problem. 
 
 
You'll see the contained .htaccess file that's included in the project.
 
 
Basically for now I'm just trying to run this on my mac. I have set up the files in a subdirectory of my personal web server. The personal web server is working fine--but when I go to the /tweets directory I get the 403.
 
 
Any suggestions how to solve this? I'm an Apache novice so none of the advice I found seemed to solve the problem in this case. 
 
 
 
 
Many thanks.

| Without seeing the error log, I think the Rewrite Module isn't loaded. |

Thanks, James. Which log should I provide? 
 
 
To clarify 
 
 
If I don't have .htaccess I get the PHP file (no rewrite) and no 403. With .htaccess I get the 403. |

| If the .htaccess causes the 403 error, than please post the content of that file |

Hi,
 
I'm experiencing a pretty similar problem, so i thought I could jump right in to this thread here.
 
Basically the same Problem as mbierman:
 
Setting "AllowOverride" to "All" and having the .htaccess in my root-folder gives me 403-Forbidden
 
(By the way, the "website" I`m trying to host is OwnCloud.)
 
I looked at my error-log and saw:
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  | [Sun Oct 14 02:02:11 2012] [error] [client 192.168.0.148] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /media/NAS/Owncloud/core/templates/404.php | 	  
 
 
...which is weird because I thought I did set the option FollowSymlinks
 
The config of the dir looks like this /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/my-config-file
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  <Directory /media/NAS/Owncloud>
 
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
 
  AllowOverride All
 
  Order allow,deny
 
  allow from all
 
</Directory> | 	  
 
 
and this is how the .htaccess looks like:
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  
 
ErrorDocument 403 /core/templates/403.php
 
ErrorDocument 404 /core/templates/404.php
 
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
 
php_value upload_max_filesize 512M
 
php_value post_max_size 512M
 
php_value memory_limit 512M
 
<IfModule env_module>
 
  SetEnv htaccessWorking true
 
</IfModule>
 
</IfModule>
 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 
RewriteEngine on
 
RewriteRule .* - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
 
RewriteRule ^.well-known/host-meta /public.php?service=host-meta [QSA,L]
 
RewriteRule ^.well-known/carddav /remote.php/carddav/ [R]
 
RewriteRule ^.well-known/caldav /remote.php/caldav/ [R]
 
RewriteRule ^apps/([^/]*)/(.*\.(css|php))$ index.php?app=$1&getfile=$2 [QSA,L]
 
RewriteRule ^remote/(.*) remote.php [QSA,L]
 
</IfModule>
 
Options -Indexes
 
 | 	  
 
Is there anything I overlooked?
 
 
Thanks for any help in advance   |
