I've read the answer at Apache2: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /dir/ on this server as well as all of the related questions and none of the solutions seem to work.

I'm trying to set up Apache with SSL but am getting a 403 Forbidden error when I go to https://[::1]/ or https://localhost/.

My only "sites-enabled" are localssl and this is localssl.conf:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>



        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost



        ####Configuration for SSL #####

        SSLEngine on

        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.pem

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key

        #### End of SSL Configuration ####



        DocumentRoot /data

        <Directory /data>

                Options FollowSymLinks

                AllowOverride None

                Require all granted

        </Directory>



        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log



        LogLevel warn

</VirtualHost>

Permissions for /data are set to 755 for root:www-data recursively.

In my apache2.conf file:

#<Directory /var/www/>

#       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#       AllowOverride None

#       Require all granted

#</Directory>



<Directory /data/>

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Require all granted

</Directory>

I've also tried omitting the section in apache2.conf and it did not make a difference.

What else do I need to do to get this to work?
