So, on my recent DO droplet I had to install Apache (2.4.10) to run a web application for a client.

root@digitalwhores:/home/webroot# apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Ubuntu)
Server built: Mar 9 2015 11:53:48

After configuring the subdomain/virtual host I was getting a 403 for it.
This was the error on the error.log…

[Thu Jul 16 21:00:28.919036 2015] [authz_core:error] [pid 17411] [client 84.XXX.XXX.XXX:53565] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/webroot/www/public/index.php

So, this is my current snap of my domain.conf – working -.

 <Directory /home/webroot/www/public/>
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
 AllowOverride all
 #Order allow,deny
 #allow from all
 Require all granted
 </Directory>
