nubuilder does not start up after installation

[nicari]

Hello,
I am new to nubuilder4.

My setup is as follows: openSUSE Linux server, mariaDB database server on a different Linux machine within the LAN network.
nuconfig.php settings as follows:
$nuConfigDBHost = "127.0.0.1";
$nuConfigDBName = "nubuilder";
$nuConfigDBUser = "egbertei";
$nuConfigDBPassword = "Secret";
$nuConfigDBGlobeadminUsername = "globeadmin"; //-- globeadmin username
$nuConfigDBGlobeadminPassword = "nu"; //-- globeadmin password
$nuConfigTitle = "nuBuilder4";
$nuConfigIsDemo = false;

nubuilder4-master.zip was extracted into the WebRoot directory
which on my server is /srv/www/htdocs/nubuilder4-master
There were no error messages during extraction.

Any attempt to start up nubuilder4:
http://localhost/nubilder4-master/index.php
returns

Error 403
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object

I have tried hard to find a solution, but to no avail.
Problem does not exist with other .html / .php applications on the same server.
What else may I try in order to solve this?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Egbert

Hi Egbert,

If you place a simple PHP file (see attachment) in the nuBuilder directory and open it in your browser, will you see the "Test" ?

http://localhost/nubilder4-master/test.php

Are there more details in the (apache) error logs?

Hello kevin
Thanks for your answer.
The test.php did not fix things, and I also put a simple index.html file, expecting that to work, but it also returned the same error message.

The tail of the apache2 error_log file reads as follows:
"[Wed Aug 12 08:58:52.919315 2020] [core:error] [pid 2693] (13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:55716] AH00035: access to /nubuilder4-master/test.php denied (filesystem path '/srv/www/htdocs/nubuilder4-master/test.php') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path"

The last sentene "search permissions are missing" may be the clue to the problem. what exactly does this mean, and how to fix it? As far as I can see, all the permissions are set correctly - or not? I had previously set the owner in the "/srv/www/htdocs/" to my own login
name. What should the correct owner name be for nubuilder4 to work?

Thanks very much for your answer and help.
