403 error after installation

[3ruce]

Describe the bug
After installation, the browser returns a 403 and the apache log reads as follows

[Thu Apr 25 14:40:49.240945 2019] [autoindex:error] [pid 25384] [client 10.114.60.123:41688] AH01276: Cannot Cannot serve directory /home/admin/web/public_html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.pl,index.php,index.xhtml,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

To Reproduce
I suspect this is an Apache config option based on googling the error. This is the extract from the apache config file for the VirtualHost

    <Directory /home/admin/web/public_html>
        AllowOverride All
        Options +Includes -Indexes +ExecCGI
        php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/public_html:/home/admin/tmp
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /home/admin/tmp
        php_admin_value session.save_path /home/admin/tmp
    </Directory>

This is not a Kimai problem, but here you go:

👍 any pointers though?

[kevinpapst]

Did you read the links?
Yes, pretty sure your document root is wrong. But please: ask someone else how to configure your Webserver. Definitely not the right place here.

I love it... I'm running 18 other PHP apps, all are configured via VestaCP and work fine... I've tweaked the odd open_basedir value but otherwise it's smooth sailing 🤔

[kevinpapst]

the index.php is in public/

[3ruce]

Ok, so the login/home url is mywebsite.com/public/index.php?

Having logged in to that url, this is the next error... which, according to this issue is a php version problem...

php -v returns PHP 7.1.28-1+0~20190412071216.17+stretch~1.gbpbe9b36 do you think that might be the problem?

Having logged in to that url

I mean having loaded that url...

You should point your DocumentRoot to public, which is everything written in the documentation.

If you want to use a fully-featured web server (like Nginx or Apache) to run Kimai, configure it to point its DocumentRoot at the public/ directory. For more details, see https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/web_server_configuration.html
