It means that you have a VirtualHost with its DocumentRoot set to /var/www/mydomain.tk/webroot, but that directory does not exist. You would simply have to create the directory to fix it:

sudo mkdir /var/www/mydomain.tk/webroot

    I tried it but it says;

    mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/www/mydomain.tk/webroot’: No such file or directory

    Oh, /var/www/mydomain.tk does not exist either so you'll have to create it first:

    sudo mkdir /var/www/mydomain.tk
sudo mkdir /var/www/mydomain.tk/webroot

    You can also pass the -p option to mkdir that creates all missing directories:

    sudo mkdir -p /var/www/mydomain.tk/webroot
