PHP not working after upgrading to OS Mojave

When i try to open localhost it gives me 403 error message like this "You don't have permission to access / on this server." I have tried changing the permission but nothing happens. It worked fine with High Sierra but after update its not working.I am using the pre installed apache and not using third party apps like xampp

Solution 1:

I had the same problem - it's based on mod_userdir exclusion after updating to Mac OS X Mojave. There are a few steps to repair that:

1. Load the module mod_userdir in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
2. At the end of the httpd.conf make sure to load httpd-userdir.conf
3. In httpd-userdir.conf include a local file in /etc/apache2/users/<username>.conf

4. Put a directory section into that file, containing the rules for the directory where your webserver files are located:

   <Directory "/Users/<myusername>/Sites/">
       AllowOverride All
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       Require all granted
   </Directory>
   

This should set you up.

Solution 2:

The Mojave update (or re-install) overwrites the apache directory but left my old configs with the ~previous suffix left.

I did edit a lot of previous files in my apache path /private/etc/apache2. These files were renamed to like httpd.conf~previous and a new httpd.conf has taken place.

I just renamed files, restart my apache and everything is working like before now. It wasn't every previous file, as i knew i did not edited all of them.

In my case also the /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf~previous had to get back in place

Solution 3:

Apache The new macOS Mojave comes with Apache pre-installed. All we have to do is switch it on.

Open Terminal using macOS Spotlight or go to /Applications/Utilities and open Terminal.

To check the version of Apache installed run the following command in the Terminal.
