So I want to configure the folder /home/web as my webserver because I have folders there representing all the sites I'm developing. I recently switched from Centos to Debian so I'm reinstalling everything.
My current webpage is fh. The permissions are as follows (This is inside /home/web:
drwxrwxr-x. 6 ariela www-data 4096 May 15 06:33 fh
I've modified /etc/apache2/apach2.conf so that the default /var/www/html dir looks like this:
<Directory /home/web>
Order allow,deny
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
After that I've changed /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf to read like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/web
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
But after all of that redirecting my browser to localhost/fh I get the Forbidden message and the log shows:
[Wed May 15 07:24:53.129930 2019] [authz_core:error] [pid 8159] [client ::1:56998] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/web/fh

What am I missing?

The problem is twofold:
Order allow,deny
which is the old style of access control, and that expects a correspondingallow from all
type of rule, not the newRequire all granted
So fix the typo, remove the Order line, and it should work.
