Trying to get a new laravel app going, but it seems I cannot access my root directory. Apache logs show:
[Fri Jan 16 09:38:31.855624 2015] [core:error] [pid 5641]
(13)Permission denied: [client [removed]] AH00035: access to / denied
(filesystem path '/root/scheduleify') because search permissions are
missing on a component of the path
I’ve tried running these commands, then restart the server:
sudo chown -R www-data: app/storage
sudo chmod -R 755 app/storage
sudo chown -R www-data: /root/scheduleify
Nothing seems to be working. Any advice? My first time doing anything like this, I have very little Linux/Administrative background. Any help is appreciated!

This question was answered by @ryanpq:
I would recommend against placing anything that will be served publicly under your /root directory. By default directories under /root only have permissions for the root user.
