Laravel - Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server

Create and put this .htaccess file in your laravel installation(root) folder.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

For me, It was just because I had a folder in my public_html named as same as that route!
so please check if you don't have a folder with the address of that route!
hope be helpful

I met the same issue, then I do same as the solution of @lubat and my project work well. :D My virtualhost configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName laravelht.vn
     DocumentRoot D:/Lavarel/HTPortal/public
     SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
     <Directory D:/Lavarel/HTPortal/public>
         DirectoryIndex index.php
         AllowOverride All
         Require all granted
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

Check your virtual host configuration. For Ubuntu you could find it at /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourlaravel.conf It should be like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourlaravel.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/laravel/project/public"
ServerAlias *.yourlaravel.com

<Directory "/path/to/your/laravel/project/public">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

The key line is Require all granted inside <Directory>.

Hope it helps!
