Hey everyone! The Dropbox app recently moved my Dropbox folder in to the Library and now my web development environment isn't working properly. Whenever I go to my 'localhost', I get error messages.
The error messages I am receiving are:
- "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server." (MAMP 5.3)
- "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access this resource. Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe." (MAMP 6.8)
My setup:
- I keep my development files on Dropbox
- I use MAMP as a PHP server
- Mac Ventura 13.3
Help!
Thanks @Walter. I have found a solution (mentioned above), and I didn't find giving MAMP full disk access made a difference, although it was worth a try! It seems to be more about Mac restricting access to port 80 … although I barely even know what that means!
