Symfony app 403 Forbidden error: You don't have permission to access / on this server
<p>I'm trying to run a symfony app on a CentOS7 linode server, but I'm getting an error: </p>

<pre><code>Cannot serve directory &lt;path to project&gt;: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html, index.php) 
</code></pre>

<p>I have a vhost setup for this subdomain with this config:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
     ServerAdmin pak11273@gmail.com
     ServerName mister
     ServerAlias project.mystuff.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project
     ErrorLog /var/www/html/project/logs/error.log
     CustomLog /var/www/html/project/logs/access.log combined
     &lt;Directory "/var/www/html/project" &gt;
         #Options FollowSymLinks
         Options -Indexes
         AllowOverride All
         Require all granted
     &lt;/Directory&gt;
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>My current settings are:<br>
1) My webserver user and group is apache<br>
2) My permissions to the /var/www/html/project are 755 with apache:apache</p>

<p>I've tried the following suggestions on the internet to no avail:</p>

<p>1) Changed Options -Indexes to Options +Indexes<br>
2) Added DirectoryIndex index.html<br>
3) I get server errors if I change root ownership of /var</p>
