I just installed 17.2 and transeffered my websites to /var/www/mysite. In my browser the 192.168.0.10 displays the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page" but when I go to "192.168.0.10/mysite" or "192.168.0.10/mysite/login.php" I get...

"Not Found
The requested URL /mysite/login.php was not found on this server."

What do I need to do to get my sites to run?

I suppose you mean Mint 17.2, or something else?

In addition to transferring your web site data, consider also transferring its configuration.

You might also want to look at the Apache log files. I can't tell where they are on Debian-based systems; certainly somewhere under /var/log, and probably named access_log and error_log or similar.

These are the last 2 lines, I attempted to access a site and this was what it recorded...

[Tue Nov 24 18:22:37.319917 2015] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 2361] AH00163: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Tue Nov 24 18:22:37.379646 2015] [core:notice] [pid 2361] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'

The last two lines of what?

Those are the last 2 lines of /var/log/apache2

Again I am running Mint 17.2 that I upgraded from Mint 14. My localhost on 14 was "/var/www". I noticed there is a /var/www/html/ in 17.2 so I moved "mysite" from /www into /www/html and it works and the url is localhost/mysite. I am fine with this, just wondering if anybody knows about this?

/var/www/html is fine, IF it matches the DocumentRoot directive in the site's .conf file

What does DocumentRoot for the site point to? /var/www/ or /var/www/html/?

Have you tried http://192.168.0.10/html/mysite/?

I really don't care where it points, this is my dev machine so I am fine with it now that I have it working. Although I mysite is not displaying images or other files that are nested. I tested this by trying to view 192.168.0.9/mysite/images/mypic.jpg and got...

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /greenstar/images/header_bg.gif on this server.

What is the best way to set permissions for /www/html so that I can create more sites without having to constantly do folder permissions maintenance? I am the only person that uses this machine.

My sites are now working under localhost but I tried to save an index.html file and got...

Could not save file index.html
Error opening file '/var/www/html/mysite/index.html': Permission denied

i guess you need to check permissions.

Such as:
and compare the result with the user account under which you wanted to create the file.

sudo: /var/lib/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0

[sudo] password for bob:

Since I ran

sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ -R

I can no longer view or edit files in /html either!

As usual, Check the log file /var/log/apache2/error.log for error messages.

This error appears quite a few times and is the only 1 besides shutting down.

When I go to my sites I get this again...

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /me on this server.

And when I try to access the folders I get this...

The folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "mysite"

I have tried setting the www folder permissions as 771 all recursive but it does not seem to be taking (I am using Webmin). How do I set these permissions?
