I don't know exactly when this problem has started but my users cannot access phpmyadmin and roundcube through domain.ext/phpmyadmin and domain.ext/roundcube. They get an 403 error. (You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server). Before this worked fine. I have been searching the web and have read some things about permission on (and in) the /var/www/html folder (should be root:root ?) Please see the image link below for the permissions. Because the post I read on other sites are so old I thought I better ask it here.

Http or https ?
Versions? ( Config info's server , OS Apache and versions, Da version Custombuild if yes version and build and so on.)
And some updates done?

As it worked before there must be some changes somewhere, so look as narrow as possible the time this started and then the log files searching for updates, and or changed someone the rights, while as this worked before you write, then out of the bleu nothing with rights if not known.....

Thank for your replies. I tried the link Richard send but that breaks my installation (websites could not connect to mysql f.e.). I put back a snapshot from before the script. Because it's a live server I won't try it again for now. I compared the permissions on the /var/www/html folders with a working server and they are an exact match. When I look in the error log file i get the following:
[Fri Dec 30 12:25:49.078747 2016] [core:error] [pid 9733:tid 140179469592320] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:65392] AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin

Any clues?

@ikkeben, do you mean to share all my versions and configs?
 
Versions yes could be some old bug if old or imcompatible with eachother, for Support from DA support they need this ofcourse

Configs the parts that could involve/cause this kind of behavoir, mainly if changed defaults this is important..
Is/should your server/host all HTTPS and only https. ???


You should know yourself if you / server admin has changed user settings/rights ?
Also you should have logs of when what updates take place, so if timewindow of this is same as problem occurs?

Oyea if the Link from Richard is breaking your Install, then take care of not only snapshots but also real DATA and Databases backups, something is really wrong then i think/suspect!

All that is not default is very important to check. ( some if these things could break after updates )

Also you could book remote support At SMTALK ( MARTYNAS) or Alex here in forum, if you have direct Admin license from directadmin and not via HOSTER you could open a support ticket at directadmin.

What is You hosting company saying?

Are you using CloudLinux? If yes try disable Symlink Protection:

If so yes ( therefore i asked for versions / configs [Glass ball] is n't helping that support have to gues what you're using.) ;) maybe but that doesn't explain this?

They have a bug :) The bugfix for now is:
Code: 
chown webapps:webapps /var/www/html

For some reason your roundcube folder is owned by root. Try resetting permissions to webapps.
