Apache is permissions based, so my guess is that your custom made account has no privilege to access those files because of restricted permissions. Often the of times setting the permissions for new user accounts will help resolve problems like this in the future.

Try with:

sudo chown -R [USER NAME]:[USER NAME] /var/www Replace [USER NAME] with appropriate.

Also I would suggest double checking the Virtual Host files and your ip-settings in ifconfig.
