Can't access page, 404 FORBIDDEN

[garrett85]

Linux Mint 20.1, Apache2, php 7.4.3, I don't know how to find my phalcon version but phalcon yielded Phalcon DevTools (4.1.2)

I'm following a Phalcon tutorial line by line and I've also read over the apache setup here -> (https://docs.phalcon.io/4.0/en/webserver-setup) but still when I try to visit localhost/tutorial I get 404 Forbidden "You don't have permission to access this resource" Note that you can replace "tutorial" with "phonebook".

Here's a look at my .htaccess files

/var/html/www/tutorial
#/phonebook/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule ((?s).*) public/$1 [L]

/var/html/tutorial/public
#/phonebook/public/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^((?s).*)$ index.php?_url=/$1 [QSA,L]

Any ideas? I really need to learn this system. Thanks.
