- sudo cp 000-default.conf 000-default.bck
- default: changed root from /var/www/ to /home/jim/Common/www/lynchjim.com/
change permissions
- Check /var/log/apache2/error.log.
  - access to / denied (filesystem path '/home/jim/Common') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path
- Starting from the root directory, ls -l home. If home isn't 755, make it.
  - sudo chmod 755 /home/
  Do not -R recursive, just that directory.
- Do the same for jim directory, Common and www.
