My Mautic version is: 5.2.3  
My PHP version is:8.3.16

I tried my Mautic installation that works fine on my hetzner ubuntu 24.04 server  
here: [info.stefan-franz.de](http://info.stefan-franz.de)

to move to a webspace. I made a test url: [http://info2.stefan-franz.de/](http://info2.stefan-franz.de/)  
Now i got an error message: 403 forbidden.

Is anyone here who nows the reason and the solution?
