title: Apache 2.2 - You don't have permission to access site on this server
body: <p>Hello I am using Server version: Apache/2.2.22 running Ubuntu 12.04.5 . I had my website on another server which was running correctly with 750 permissions to whole folder. When I moved to the new server :</p>
  
  <p>I created the virtual host and I turned it on (a2ensite, reload and restart apache)</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
  ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias www.example.com
  DocumentRoot /path/to/project/
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I set permissions of the project folder to 750 and I get the error :</p>
  
  <pre><code>(13)Permission denied: /path/to/project/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I cleared .htaccess file but I got the same error. SELinux is not installed and my httpd.conf file is empty. Any ideas?</p>
