And have this apache message!
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server
When i have created "test" dir and move localhost from var/www to var/www/test - everything works. I suppose that problem with file permissions??!What should i do?
The problem has been solved. Thanks Patrick and Joh. Really need to give read access to index.html: chmod 644 /media/2A98EDD2ACA90087/WebProject/index.html
But i can't change access to my Ntfs mounted drive. I have to remount
why cant change permission ownership group of external hard drive on ubuntu

The apache server runs as a certain user -- probably "apache", you can run ps to see -- and that user must have permission to access the webroot. You can make it be owned by apache, or make it group-readable (and you'll probably want it group-writable) and either add apache to the group that owns it, or change the group to apache's group.
Assuming httpd runs as "apache" (group: apache) and you are "jdoe" (group: jdoe)
$ sudo chown -R jdoe:apache /media/2A98EDD2ACA90087/WebProject
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /media/2A98EDD2ACA90087/WebProject
