2.find the below code and change AllowOverride all to AllowOverride none

 <Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all      Change this to--->  AllowOverride none
    Require all granted
 </Directory>

It will work fine on your Ubuntu server

Solved issue using below steps :

1) edit file "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf"

    DocumentRoot "dir_name"

    ServerName <server_IP>

    <Directory "dir_name">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <Directory "dir_name">
       AllowOverride None
       # Allow open access:
       Require all granted

2) change folder permission sudo chmod -R 777 "dir_name"

Answer 5

under etc/apache2/apache2.conf, you can find one or more blocks that describe the server directories and permissions

As an example, this is the default configuration

<Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Require all granted
</Directory>

you can replicate this but change the directory path /var/www/ with the new directory.

Finally, you need to restart the apache server, you can do that from a terminal with the command: sudo service apache2 restart
