MVC Code Igniter 403 Error

Question

Hello all i am new to MVC and after attempting a mod_rewrite i am having trouble with 403 when i attempt to load site/about. I have my project in the main root directory of my web server htdocs, i have struggled to understand many of the tutorials online. The error is;

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.

site - controller

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Site extends CI_Controller {

public function index()
{
    $data['title']= "Welcome Learn Guitar Online";
    //$this->load->view('home',$data);
    //$this->getValues();
    $this->load->view("about",$data);

}
}

about.php

 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>

</head>
<body>

<div id="container">
<h1>Welcome to about</h1>
<div id="body">
    <p>hello</p>
</div>

<p class="footer">Page rendered in <strong>{elapsed_time}</strong> seconds</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]

    # Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

config file variables

$config['base_url'] = 'localhost/index.php';
$config['index_page'] = '';

You are attempt to load site/about. but as I seen your code there is no function named as about. You just need to call your controller i.e. http://localhost/FOLDER_NAME/site and default it will call index function and load the about.php view.

Your config.php should like this

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/FOLDER_NAME';
$config['index_page'] = '';

If you have put your ht.access inside your project folder than there is no need to define base_url() also.

can you try making the .htaccess to this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /FOLDER_NAME/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

in Config

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/FOLDER_NAME';
$config['index_page'] = '';

Replace FOLDER_NAME with your folder name. Now you should be able to access your url without index.php
