创建虚拟主机时，apache仅适用于/ var / www / html /目录

Question

I just moved from WAMP to LAMP, and can't figure out this problem that I am facing. Whenever I create new vhost which is not in this directory /var/www/html/ i get a 403 forbidden message. (Permission are the same and there is an index file)

It seems to me that somewhere in Linux you specify a list of directories and apache works explicitly with those ones.

I use Apache 2.4.6.

I appreciate your help,

After checking the error log(vhost), I found this error message "search permissions are missing on a component of the path". Meaning that one of the parent directories from where the vhost was located didn't not have search (+x) permission for the apache user.
