Configuring apache2-mpm-itk
Open vhost configuration and add the following lines to it:

[...]
<IfModule mpm_itk_module>
AssignUserId web1_user web1group
</IfModule>
[...]

Sometime vhost folder have error 403, you need to make the public_html and the files there readable by the web server.
One way is to run chmod o+x /home/user (allow everyone to switch to the home directory) and chmod -R o+rX /home/user/public_html (make public_html and files there readable by everyone).
