Re: RPGLE, web services, json and Forbidden, Forbidden - by rule., , You do not have permission to access /states on this server.

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

You'll want to provide:

1. Your apache config (or at least the alias and directory
directives/containers)
2.  The full path you're using for the request (from the browser/client)
3.  The actual qualified path you're using on the request.

The forbidden error normally means your apache config says you don't have
the proper permission to that directory.

Also double check the directory has at least *RX authority and any files in
the directory have at lest *R for QTMHHTTP and QTMHHTP1 user profiles (or
the user profile you may be using in the Apache config if you did that).
