I think I found the real issue.
In the vhosts it has
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.remcycle.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.test.remcycle.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1
After removing this and restarting the website seems to work. I will be doing a
little reading on the rewrite engine to find out why this causes the 403 error,
but I believe this to be the root cause of the issue.
