Changed apache www folder

Question

So I changed it from /var/www to /home/John/Dropbox/www and I also did chmod 755 /home/John/Dropbox/www but it still says You don't have permission to access / on this server.

I forgot how to do this, I guess I need to add the www-data usergroup to the folder...I don't remeber anymore, can you guys help me out.

Did you reboot? Or at least run sudo apache2ctl restart in order to allow the changes to take effect. Please inform if you succeed. — Geppettvs D'Constanzo, Nov 06 '13 at 19:12

I got it to work like this:

chgrp -R www-data /username/
chmod -R 2750 /username/

And also add in apache2.conf

<Directory /home/JOgn/Dropbox/www>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
