403 forbidden error after setting seo url in opencart 1.5.4

I am trying to setup seo url in opencart on my local machine.

I have enabled seo url from admin system setting and set it to "YES"

After that, added following lines in my .htaccess file-:

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled. 

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

Options +FollowSymlinks

# Prevent Directoy listing
Options -Indexes

# Prevent Direct Access to files

Order deny,allow
Deny from all

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /primebrand

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

After this, I had set the seo keyword of my product and category. And restarted the Apache.

But it shows 

403 forbidden

You don't have permission to access /primebrand/ on this server

Problem is possibly your line "RewriteBase /primebrand". It requires a trailing "/", i.e. "RewriteBase /primebrand/"

If You had set

RewriteBase /primebrand

You are telling the Apache that all the rewrites should start in /primebrand/ directory - that will mean that You actualy have Your OpenCart installed in <HTTP_ROOT>/primebrand/ directory. In other words, lets say You have a local root http://localhost/mysite/ and the OpenCart is installed in localhost/mysite/primebrand.

If this is not the case (so Your OpenCart is directly the site http://localhost/mysite/), set the RewriteBase back to /, ending up with 

RewriteBase /

This should be enough.
