I am trying to set up a local repository file. I installed httpd. I configured the directory ownership to "apache." I set the directory permissions to 755. I am getting the error " Status code: 403 for http://annex-repo-02/repo/epel/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 10.238.27.108)". I have set the folders permissions to 777 and I still get the error. I have run the setsebool command to httpd_can_network_connect to 1, I am still getting the error.
$ chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /path/to/your/directory
try on your machine

Use the chcon command to change the security context of your directory to httpd_sys_content_t, allowing Apache to access the files within the directory.
