Setting up Apache2 VHost

Question

I'm attempting to setup a apache2 vhost in the latest version of Ubuntu and i keep getting a "Forbidden" when trying to access the page.

I have setup a folder for this new site under /root/websites/panel.joosh.eu/www And this has the owner/group of root:root so i can edit it and permissions of 644

This is my vhost file in sites-avaliable (yes i also enabled it)

<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 panel.joosh.eu

    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /root/websites/panel.joosh.eu/www

    <Directory /root/websites/panel.joosh.eu/www>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
            Require all granted
    </Directory>


    ErrorLog /root/websites/panel.joosh.eu/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /root/websites/panel.joosh.eu/logs/access.log combined

Ive tried everything but i still get forbidden, any ideas?
