Unable to connect to Slim Framework and MySQL database

Hi Friends,

I am installing an Angular, Slim framework, MySQL website on a new VPS server.
Unfortunately I am not able to complete the installation as I encounter a forbidden error.

SQL connection, data retrieve works fine with direct PHP program, but I am unable to connect with database thru Angular and Slim framework.

Trying to check on a temporary ip address provided, displays forbidden error in the browser console,
POST https://43.225.xx.xxx/~schnexno/testrapidpack/rapidpackapi/user/login 403 (Forbidden)

The link defined in environment of angular
baseUrl: ‘https://43.225.xx.xx/~schnexno/testrapidpack/rapidpackapi

Linux OS
Kernel Ver 3.10.0-1160.90.1.el7.x86_64
Apache Version 2.4.57
MySQL Version 5.7.43
PHP Version 7.4 (downgraded from 8.0)
Slim Framework 4.0

Please help me out.

Regards,
Dharmendra Nagaraj

Have you checked the server error logfiles?

No, I have not checked the server error logfiles.
Thank you Odan, I will check up with the service provider for access to error log files.

Hi Ordan,

I checked out with the error log file and found the following error. I will inform the host service provider to give permission to the folder, hope it may work. Thank you Ordan.
