How do I solve You don't have permission to access this resource?
Hi,
I'm getting an error that says:
Forbidden - you don't have permission to access this resource.
Apache/2.4.55 (Ubuntu) Server at 172.104.205.185 Port 80
Can someone please help me?

It sounds like you might be encountering a 403 permissions error described in these two Community posts:

As I understand the issue as you've described it, you need to check file/directory permissions to make sure Apache2 is able to access the files it needs to serve. You can check the following logs to see if it reveals which files it cannot access:
/var/log/apache/access.log
/var/log/apache2/access.log
/var/log/httpd/access.log
Additionally, this solved post on StackOverflow goes into much deeper detail about individual causes for these permission errors and how to resolve them:
