Yes also my experience.
I tried setting up VirtualHost but that also failed.
I solved it by:
cd /var/www/html
sudo mkdir tester
  chmod 766 tester
  chown  user:user tester
then sudo mv the whole (drupal in my case) file system to 
/var/www/html/tester
Basically leaving /var/www/html as root:root but the drupal directory is 
user:user ownership
That worked......
