Change Apache root directory

I am having problems changing the root directory in Apache 2.4.9 on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I am using this tutorial: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/forbidden-403-you-dont-have-permission-to-access-username-on-this-server/

When I navigate to http://localhost/~Owner/ , I get 404 Not found.

The conf file is in the apache2/user folder. Here is the httpd file, my conf file, and the httpd-user .

Please be as explicit as you be with your answer; as I learn better examining code, watching a video somebody doing live coding and testing.

I simply download and installed MAMP. Then I change the root directory.
