Reset to default

Add your user to the apache group then it's working fine

sudo usermod -g www-data <YOUR_USERNAME>

By default, Ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to any file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. The default Ubuntu document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www.

This is different to previous releases which provides better security out of the box.

To solve the problem:

  1. Move your source code to /var/www

    Example: /var/www/site

2.Fix your Virtualhost

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName test.local ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/site <Directory "/var/www/site" > Order allow,deny Allow from all Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>
