Why does "You don't have permission to access / on this server" appear?

Question

linux

Good afternoon. OS Ubuntu 16.04
Installed

> sudo apt-get install apache2
> sudo systemctl enable apache2
> sudo systemctl start apache2

Next, my file is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/it.loc.conf
<

VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName it.loc
ServerAlias www.it.loc
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /media/my_folder/3ABBCCD87BB08752/www/it.loc
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /media/my_folder/3ABBCCD87BB08752/www/it.loc>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
  Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Spent the team

sudo a2ensite it.loc.conf
 sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo vi /etc/hosts
         127.0.0.1 it.loc
sudo systemctl restart apache2

and this error occurs. Apache is on my computer, and the site folder is on an external railway.

Answer 1

yes, add the apache user (www-data?) to the my_folder group and you will be happy

Answer 2

sudo chmod 777 -R /media/my_folder/3ABBCCD87BB08752/www/
maybe there just isn't enough rights to this directory.
