Heroku 403 Forbidden for js static files

Question

I click on my simple php application on Heroku and get 403 status for some js files.

https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/jquery-form/jquery.form.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/jquery-validate/dist/jquery.validate.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/jquery.inputmask/dist/inputmask/jquery.inputmask.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/modernizer/modernizr.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/jselector/src/jquery.jselector.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/rubber-carousel/dist/jquery.rubber-carousel.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/jmodal/src/jquery.jmodal.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) https://guarded-forest-7267.herokuapp.com/vendor/scrollReveal.js/dist/scrollReveal.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

What is the problem?

Answer 1

This was due to an incorrect .htaccess file configuration.

If there is a RewriteRule in the .htaccess file, add these RewriteCond before this.

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 

For example, this code allows you to redirect all requests except static files to index.php

 Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule .* /index.php
