I installed and set up all the LAMP services, and got it working from the www folder, thing it though I need it to point to a folder in my Dropbox (on the same partition)
I modified the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf so it now looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@mysite.com
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com *.mysite.com
DocumentRoot /home/alicia/Dropbox/Programing/PHP/intern-magnet
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/alicia/Dropbox/Programing/PHP/intern-magnet/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel info
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log common
ServerSignature On
I also modified the permissions of the new root directory at every level making it drxr-xr-x / 755
The namei -m command outputed the following for the new root directory, which all looks fine to me:
drwxr-xr-x /
drwxr-xr-x home
drwxr-xr-x alicia
drwxr-xr-x Dropbox
drwxr-xr-x Programing
drwxr-xr-x PHP
drwxr-xr-x intern-magnet
The last few entries in the /var/log/apache2/error.log read:

Oh yeah, and I am running Ubuntu GNOME 14.10
So basically it has not got permission, but WHY?! I have spent all day and most of last night trying to figure this out, I've gone through loads of tutorials, still can't see what I'm missing.
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance 🙂
I have read some similar questions to this on askubuntu but none of the solutions workes, so I guess this is a different problem and therefore not a duplicate
Best Answer
It appears that you're running Apache 2.4; they changed the auth module between 2.2. and 2.4.
Other thoughts to consider: generally it is considered "best practice" to house your personal web development projects in ~/public_html, enable the usedir module
a2enmod userdir
, allow PHP to execute code there, and finally call the URL by browsing to http://localhost/~alicia/intern-magnetSpecific steps if you're interested in this tangent:
Additional projects you start simply need their code linked to inside ~/public_html just like the above
ln -s
command, then browse to /~alicia/PROJECT_NAME_HERE!
