        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /home/soroush/Sites/test
        <Directory "/home/soroush/Sites/test" >
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
           Require all granted
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    By default, Ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to
    any file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories
    (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is
    using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may
    need to whitelist your document root directory in
    /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. The default Ubuntu document root is
    /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www.

    This is different to previous releases which provides better security
    out of the box.

    To solve the problem:

    1. Move your source code to /var/www

      Example: /var/www/site

    2.Fix your Virtualhost

    <VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName test.local
  ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
  DocumentRoot /var/www/site
  <Directory "/var/www/site" >
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    Add your user to the apache group then it’s working fine

    sudo usermod -g www-data <YOUR_USERNAME>
