The requested URL was not found on this server

A question asked many times and yet I didn't find an answer that helped me.

I have an Apache Server running under Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (yes I need to update).

I have a webpage in /var/www/website/index.html

I have set the Domain Forward at my providers to
https://ip.address/website/index.hmtl

I have a .htaccess file in /home/website/ which reads

<Files ~ "^\.(htaccess|htpasswd)$">
deny from all
</Files>
Options Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.html       
order deny,allow

I have added a
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
into my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

When trying to visit the site, I get the error The requested URL /website/index.html was not found on this server.

This is the first time I'm doing something like this and I'm completely at loss... Why can't I visit my Page?

UPDATE: I now set up everything as in https://debian-administration.org/article/412/Hosting_multiple_websites_with_Apache2

Now I get the error that my browser can't get a connection to the server?

UPDATE2: I now have an error.log file in my website's directory saying [Wed Dec 07 08:23:10 2016] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not open transfer log file /home/www/website/logs/access.log.

On ubuntu enabling module rewrite by running sudo a2enmod rewrite and then retart apache2 service with service apache2 restart will solve your problem
