I have tried everything here and elsewhere but nothing seems to fix this issue of the alias folder giving a 403 error when trying to access it through a URL. Files are accessible through a full path (such as for includes) but not via URL. It was working fine before PHP8 but I suspect that something else was updated too (likely Apache2) that broke it. Anything else NOT already posted to try? I am running Apache 2.4.48 on Ubuntu 21.10.
The directives are fairly basic:
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domainname.loc
ServerName domainname.loc
<Directory "/var/www/html/domainname.loc">
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Alias /common /domainname.loc/common
