Apache 2.4.7 403 Forbidden Error - apache

Question

I'm trying to install the overpass api as a web server with apache (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/install)
Here is my 000-default.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ExtFilterDefine gzip mode=output cmd=/bin/gzip
DocumentRoot /root/osm-3s_v0.7.4/html
# This directive indicates that whenever someone types http://www.mydomain.com/api/
# Apache2 should refer to what is in the local directory [YOUR_EXEC_DIR]/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /api/ /srv/osm3s/cgi-bin/
# This specifies some directives specific to the directory: [YOUR_EXEC_DIR]/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/srv/osm3s/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
#SetOutputFilter gzip
#Header set Content-Encoding gzip
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
However when I try to run the command:
http://175.33.148.57/api/interpreter?data=%3Cprint%20mode=%22body%22/%3E
I get the 403 Forbidden error.
I have already done
chmod 777 /srv/osm3s/cgi-bin/
But nothing seems to work.
Please help, Ive been stuck on this for 3 days now! Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Replace:
Allow from all
by
Require all granted
<Directory /www/mysite>
Allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory /www/mysite>
Require all granted
</Directory>

Answer 2

Here is how I solved this problem for anyone who might have a similar one:
It seemed the problem came from where I installed the overpass installation ($EXEC_DIR).
So I had to change the install directories to:
$EXEC_DIR /var/www/osm/
$DB_DIR /var/www/osm/db/
$PLANET_FILE /var/www/osm/planet.osm.bz2
$REPLICATE_DIR /var/www/osm/rep/
Giving the resulting default.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ExtFilterDefine gzip mode=output cmd=/bin/gzip
DocumentRoot /root/osm-3s_v0.7.4/html
# This directive indicates that whenever someone types http://www.example.com/api/
# Apache2 should refer to what is in the local directory [YOUR_EXEC_DIR]/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /api/ /var/www/osm/cgi-bin/
# This specifies some directives specific to the directory: [YOUR_EXEC_DIR]/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/var/www/osm/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
#SetOutputFilter gzip
#Header set Content-Encoding gzip
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I tried and tried but couldn't get it working with the old dir. Good luck!

Answer 3

try this as it is. don't add Order allow,deny or others
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Require all granted
Allow from all
</Directory>
