Virtual host not displaying correct files - apache

Centos 7.1 and apache 2.4 - We have installed a new drive in our server and want to move all of our sites to that drive (mounted as /data) and sites are located in /data/vhosts
When trying to access the site we are presented with the apache welcome screen. I can confirm that the vhost is loaded as trying changing the permissions of the dir above results in a forbidden access. There is also an index.php file located in /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html
# IP has been changed for example:
<VirtualHost 91.91.91.91:80>
DocumentRoot "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com>
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
UPDATE 1:
I have deleted the welcome.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and I am not given a forbidden 403. It is important to note that this is a new drive and no permissions has been set on /data (or sub folders) for apache. I am not entirely sure if that makes a difference?
I have also made some slight alternations to the vhost conf file but no difference:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com">
AllowOverride None
# Allow open access:
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Configure file outside of xampp in vhost

I have lost my local vhost configuration for this app.
The index.php file is outside of the xampp folder because of reasons.
How do I configure my vhost so I can access this index via my-app.local?
I've already tried multiple things but it always just shows me the index of the xampp htdocs folder...
<VirtualHost my-app.local:80>
DocumentRoot "E:\MyApp\App"
ServerName my-app.local
<Directory "E:\MyApp\App>
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs\backoffice\public"
ServerName dev.backoffice.local
ServerAlias 192.168.2.21
<Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs\backoffice\public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I did have this working before, but honestly don't know how I did it...

Adding a directory to Apache Server

I have a Windows XP system running XAMPP/Apache. I already have files on an external hard drive that I would like to serve up without moving them to the same drive as the Apache installation.
Here is what I've tried so far:
In the main HTTPD.conf file:
Alias /client_files D:/clients/files
<Directory D:/clients/files>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
But the only result I got was :
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
localhost
Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.6
I also tried adding to the HTTPD-VHOSTS.conf file:
ServerName client_files
ServerAlias client_files
DocumentRoot "D:/clients/files"
And also:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "D:/clients/files"
ServerName client_files
ServerAlias client_files
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
But neither of these worked either. How in the world can I add another directory to an Apache installation and have it accesible via something like "localhost/client_files"?
Any suggestions?
UPDATE: [SOLVED]
As per #Pedro Nunes's answer below, I now have my httpd.conf file with this section at the end of the file and which includes the line "Require all granted" which Pedro answered with and which now solves the issue:
Alias /client_files D:/clients/files
<Directory D:/clients/files>
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Have you tried Require all granted inside the directory section?
This will grant access to all requests.
This guide explains exactly how I have it setup on my windows xampp machine. http://www.delanomaloney.com/2013/07/10/how-to-set-up-virtual-hosts-using-xampp/
remember to give an absolute documentroot path as well as adding the 127.0.0.1 servername line to hosts in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

Two sites with Apache virtual hosts

I'm working on 2 different sites. I have local copies of them checked out from SVN at my home folder, and symbolic links in /var/www pointing to them.
I've set up virtual hosts in httpd.conf like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/siteA
ServerName 192.168.0.10/siteA
<Directory "/var/www/siteA">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/siteB
ServerName 192.168.0.10/siteB
<Directory "/var/www/siteB">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I would like to be able to access the sites with 192.168.0.10/siteA and /siteB, but when typing the address in browser, it throws a 404 and apache error log says: "File does not exist: /var/www/siteA/siteA".
What am I doing wrong and where does the second "/siteA" come from?
You've got too much configuration in there. /SiteA and /SiteB should be paths relative to your site root, you can't have different sites on the same host header, which in this case is "192.168.0.10". If you want to bind that address to the configuration, something along the lines of the following should work.
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.10:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName 192.168.0.10
<Directory "/var/www">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If you now browse to /SiteA, /SiteB you should see the contents of your directory as long as your symlinks are correct. You also need to ensure you have the "NameVirtualHost" directive set correctly in your httpd.conf.

Redirect to a subfolder in Apache virtual host file

I have Joomla installed on a webserver running Ubuntu Server 12.04. The Joomla folder is located at /var/www/cms/.
My vhost file at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default has the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com/
Redirect permanent / https://domain.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName domain.com:443
DocumentRoot /var/www/cms
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/cms>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
(...)
</VirtualHost>
At the moment, all the requests to domain.com and anything entered after that like domain.com/example gets directed and processed by Joomla which either redirects to a proper page or returns a custom 404 error. This all works.
Now, I would like to filter all the requests that go to domain.com/subfolder before they get processed by Joomla and redirect them to /var/www/subfolder (instead of my root folder at /var/www/cms/).
I believe the file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default (seen above) is the right place to define such a redirect, however I have not been able to figure out at what position and how to achieve this.
You should add to your configuration:
Alias /subfolder /var/www/subfolder
<Directory /var/www/subfolder>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
and fit the configuration between "Directory" to your needs.
See the Apache documentation to have more informations.

apache virtual host not opening when given subfolders

I have set up a virtual host in apache this morning and it works well for the root folder.
Settings for virtual hosts -
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dev.abcworld.com
ServerAlias dev.abcworld.com
DocumentRoot C:\nem\wamp\www\dev\html
<Directory C:\nem\wamp\www\dev\html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName prod.abcworld.com
ServerAlias prod.abcworld.com
DocumentRoot C:\nem\wamp\www\prod\html
<Directory C:\nem\wamp\www\prod\html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Example :
dev.abcworld.com - works well
prod.abcworld.com - works well
but when ever I click a link in dev.abcworld.com which is supposed to redirect to another page in the project like dev.abcworld.com/payments or dev.abcworld.com/somthing or dev.abcworld.com/anything it always says "The requested URL /apartments was not found on this server."
why does is works only on the root folder? how can i make this work for the whole project both in dev and prod?
open your browser console and check to which path it is sending request.
