Error 403 after updating

Self-Hosted | v4/Legacy
1

I just tried to update it as it is described here and right after it when I try to access the /ninja/ in my website, I get the error 403. I already tried to upload the old backup .htaccess and also re upload the files. Didn’t work. Where’s the log? How can I fix it?

Which version did you update to?

3

Latest. I got and followed it here: https://invoice-ninja.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

4

So v4.5.18?

If you’re seeing a 403 I suggest checking the web server error log, the app logs are in storage/logs

Alright, I says this:

Is it only a thing of permissions? I tried it too it keep failing. Maybe there’s the right file to config? I tried the htaccess only.

7

Maybe try to making the folder not writeable by group?

I set .htaccess and the main folder Ninja to 7 4 4. That’s readable and executable isn’t it? What am I overlooking at?

I tried several combinations and got it right. But now it’s returning the line above. Any idea?

I got it. I had to add several different permissions and several files. Thank you.

I had this issue as well, here’s what worked for my install.

cd /path/to/ninja/
chmod 755 ./
chmod 755 ./public
chmod 644 ./public/index.php
