403 Forbidden response for assets

Silverstripe Version: 4.2.1

Question:

I am using apache 2.4.34/php 7.2.9 on Windows 7 and I made a vhost for my site like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "path\to\my\site\public"
    ServerName mysite.dvl
    ServerAlias *.mysite.dvl
	
    <Directory "path\to\my\site\public">		
		AllowOverride All
		Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Everything seems to be working fine, except that I get a “403 Forbidden” for my assets (e.g. uploaded images). If I remove “AllowOverride All” directive images are shown fine but then nothing else works (I get 404 for all other requests). Thank you for all your help in advance.

Thank you for your answer. I “fixed” my problem. The cause for errors were images with dots in their names meaning I had to rename for example “my.photo.jpg” to “my photo.jpg”, so it had nothing to do with file permissions.

‘my.photo.jpg’ is a valid filename, so you might have discovered a bug.

Thanks for making this post, I’m having the same issue. This answer from colymba on stackoverflow helped me to a point, by creating a file called assetperms.yml and placing it in app/_config/

When I make the contents of assetperms.yml contain the following

SilverStripe\Assets\Flysystem\AssetAdapter:
  file_permissions:
    file:
      public: 0644
      private: 0644
    dir:
      public: 0755
      private: 0700

everything displays fine on the front end but my Images still don’t preview on the right in the file viewer in the CMS and I get a 404 while editing blog posts even though both images are displaying:

30%20AM
30%20AM2152×1154 347 KB

I hope this helps narrow down the issue we are having.

It is a bug, it’s already been fixed (there’s a patch around somewhere) and due for release.
