Apache

I have recently downloaded my site to my local system but when I browse it on my local system it gives me 403 Forbidden error. Then I have checked Apache logs and found below error:

Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden

Can someone help me how can I fix this problem?

Thanks,

The error "Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden" can be fixed by adding below line in your .htaccess file:

Code:

Options FollowSymLinks

You are getting this error because FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is not on and you can on it using above line. Hope this will fix your problem.
