Ubuntu 14.04 ships with Apache 2.4 instead of 2.2. The configuration directives for permission for Apache to access directories changed. Check all of the files in /etc/apache2 for the directives mentioned here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#run-time and make the appropriate changes. Alternatively, you should be able to enable mod_access_compat and not make the config changes.
