I know I should add the root directory due to security, but I am getting this

website error.log:

I guess I need to be asking why it needs access to the root of the computer and 
not just the website directory.

The solution to the problem was that I needed to add  a <Directory/> to the 
vhost. I do not know why it would need the root directory, but as long as it is 
fixed then I do not care. Would this cause any security risks or is it fine to 
add this directory?

I would not recommend doing that. You should add permissions for as few 
directories as possible.
If it only works when you add the root directory, then you have some other 
problem and you should probably try to find out what it is.
