under etc apache2 apache2 conf  you can find one or more blocks that describe the server directories and permissions  As an example  this is the default configuration   lt Directory  var www  gt     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks    AllowOverride None    Require all granted  lt  Directory gt    you can replicate this but change the directory path  var www  with the new directory   Finally  you need to restart the apache server  you can do that from a terminal with the command  sudo service apache2 restart
