Laravel - Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server

Question

My laravel installation was working fine yesterday but today I get the following error:

Forbidden  You don't have permission to access / on this server.  Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. 

Does anyone know where I am going wrong?

Create and put this .htaccess file in your laravel installation(root) folder.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine on     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L] </IfModule>
