.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
When you constantly get a 403 - forbidden error and you find similair lines in your Apache error log
/your/path/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
Check the permissions of your path because they are most likely 700 are something like that.
To change permissions use : chmod 644 the_name_of_your_path

That did the trick for me. Permissions were 750, changed back to 755. Thanks!
Now to figure out who changed it in the first place …

check the user and group. Should be user . usergroup.
Also check for any invalid or wrong entry in htaccess file

Check you directories for the .. path, yo umay find that they are not owned by the user you have given access to for the rest of the files.
chown user:group ..
may fix the issue

Thanks a lot,
I’ve wasted an hour trying to solve this simple issue =)
Obvious, but I forgot the whole path should be checked against permissions
