Hi I am trying to view a .PHPS source file on Ubuntu 20.04.3 Apache 2.4.41 PHP 7 server but when I view the .phps file in the browser I get this message -
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
If I rename the file type to .txt I can view the file fine in the browser.
I’ve added the following to .htaccess -
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
RewriteRule (.*\.php)s$ $1 [H=application/x-httpd-php-source]
And I tried adding that to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/demo.testsite.com-le-ssl.conf but it didn’t work.
I then updated this file /etc/apache2/mods-available/php7.3.conf and commented out Require all denied and also added Order Deny,Allow and Deny from all -
<FilesMatch ".+\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
# Deny access to raw php sources by default
# To re-enable it's recommended to enable access to the files
# only in specific virtual host or directory
#Require all denied
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
I then restarted apache sudo service apache2 restart and I still get this message in the browser when viewing the PHPS file -
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
Has anyone got any idea how to fix?

Hello,
I could suggest checking your Apache error log for some more information, you could use the following command to do so:
Also, can you confirm which tutorial did you follow to set up your Apache and PHP installations?
