Apache is giving error 403 Forbidden errors

[asdlinux]

Hi everyone !
Sorry if this has been asked before, This is my first post.

I have problem with apache. It always gives me a 403 forbidden error when trying to access a page.
I had everything working good for a long time running a Joomla page on my QNAP TVS-871 on QTS 4.2.4.
Then I tried to install Drupal 8, So i made a database and a user in mariasql, created a Drupal directory in /share/Web
and pointed my browser to that adress. In the middle if the installation script (right after the database setup page) it all
stopped working and are giving 403 to anything, including phpMyAdmin, joomla, etc etc.

Did Drupal change my configuration? is that even possible? I am lost here I can´t find anything wrong but still not working
what am i missing?

Anyone have any idea what i should look for?
Thank you for your time
Magnus

To answer my own question, I found a hidden .htaccess file that blocked the access.
When showing hidden files i could see it. after deleting it it all works... After much
hairpulling it was a simple solution !!!

Hi Magnus,

There can be (no, there are ...) good reasons why Web app installations place a .htaccess file ... better check out what is breaking it instead of removing it please.

It is possible that some Apache modules required by the .htaccess are not loaded.

Compare wiht the list of modules, ie.

In what aspect - is Apache not serving simple htm or html files, not serving php, ...? Start with a simple test, a simple html or php helloworld ...
