Heroku 403 Forbidden - Laravel 5

Question

I have a Laravel 5.8 site

https://boss-security-2.herokuapp.com/

I deployed to Heorku to test with this script that I created

appName='boss-security-2'
echo 'appName =' $appName


# heroku apps
# heroku apps:destroy appName --confirm appName
# ----------------------

echo web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public/ > Procfile
git init
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"

heroku create $appName
heroku git:remote -a $appName
heroku buildpacks:set heroku/php
heroku config:set APP_KEY=9O7AegDFJhVC16jLfNNepT7TEQ7FyFZc

git push heroku master

heroku apps:info
heroku open
echo "done"
#

I kept getting

Forbidden

Update 1

I checked the log, I saw this

Cannot serve directory /app/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

Update 2

I have no idea why my composer.json in my dyno doesn't seem to have my latest code. I SSHed in and check.

heroku ps:exec

Is this has something to do with my composer.lock ?

Answer 1

try this to solve your problem. add this in your composer.json

 "post-install-cmd": [
     "php artisan clear-compiled",
     "chmod -R 777 public/"
 ]

Answer 2

Probably You Pushed The Directories with wrong Permissions in your remote git repository

1. Goto Your local code
2. Update the Permissions
3. and push back the code
4. take a pull from the Heroku app
