How to make apache directory readable on ubuntu

The following problem:

I have an ubuntu 12.04 server, I made a virtual host with

DocumentRoot /var/www/

Everything is fine, I see the correct index.html when I point to the website of this virtual host with a web browser. When I look at the owner of the www folder , I see:

ls -l
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jul 10 09:07 www

Now I am changing DocumentRoot to

DocumentRoot /root/testFolder/

I copy my index.html in this folder, point it to my domain using a web browser, then I get the message "You do not have permission ..."

Ok i check the owner of testFolder

ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 Jul 11 08:18 testFolder

This is the same as the www folder.

Ok, I’ll try to change the owner of the testFolder group.

chown -R www-data:www-data /root/testFolder/

But I get the same result in my browser: "You do not have permission to access this server."

Try:

chown -R apache:apache /root/testFolder/


chmod +r /root/testFolder

UPDATE
, apache /root , root.
