I guess you created an htaccess file as part of the installation? And that htaccess file has options that are disallowed by your Apache configuration. So, you either need to remove those options (replacing them with ones that are allowed) or you need to allow them in the Apache global configuration.

here is the .htaccess file that comes with orangehrm. any idea how I need to edit it so it works?

IndexIgnore *
Options All -Indexes
RedirectMatch 404 /…*$

order allow,deny

deny from all

<Files .log>
order allow,deny
deny from all

<Files log
.txt>
order allow,deny
deny from all

<Files *.yml>
order allow,deny
deny from all

<FilesMatch “(.(bak|config|dist|inc|swp|xml|sql|sh|xsl|conf|ini|json)|~)$”>
## Apache 2.2
order allow,deny
deny from all

## Apache 2.4
# Require all denied
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule (/)?(build|lib|license|tests|test|apps|cache|config|data|log|plugins)(/.*)?$ - [F,NC]

Try to replace:
Options All -Indexes

with
Options -Indexes

Restart Apache and try and see if it works now.

hello, now I get the following:

now it is saying the following after making that change

Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi was not found on this server.

However that folder and file isn’t part of the script at all

sorry, i did a areply to email and I thought it posted

OK change back to how it was. Did you have any luck in posting to one of the many online Orange HRM forums (?) as it is specific to the app rather than Virtualmin issue.
