title: Apache cannot access custom directory
body: <p>I am using <code>apache 2.4</code> and <code>ubuntu 15.10</code>.
  I want to change default <code>/var/www/html/</code> directory for my files into <code>/home/myuser/mydir/</code>. I know there are many tutorials, but it doesn't seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>I changed <code>000-default.conf</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost     
  # DocumentRoot /var/www/html 
  DocumentRoot /home/myuser/mydir
  # &lt;Directory /var/www/html&gt;
  &lt;Directory /home/myuser/mydir&gt;
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I changed <code>default-ssl.conf</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
  
  # DocumentRoot /var/www/html
  DocumentRoot /home/myuser/mydir
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I changed <code>apache.conf</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code># &lt;Directory /var/www/html&gt;
  &lt;Directory /home/myuser/mydir&gt;
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Require all granted
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>ls -l</code> in <code>/home/myuser/mydir</code> is solid: <code>-rwxrwxrwx</code> </p>
  
  <p>If I restart apache2 and access "localhost" in my browser I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Forbidden
  
  You don't have permission to access / on this server.
  Apache/2.4.12 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know what else I can do.</p>
