Following these instructions from start to finish worked for me: https://www.computersnyou.com/3376/setup-apache-php-mysql-macosx-10-10-yosemite/

Basic instructions added in response to suggestion from rozkosz:

These instructions are for setting up apache from scratch after upgrading the Yosemite. It seems like you've done most of this but you need to make edits to your /etc/apache2/users/YOURUSERNAME.conf. In any case, here's a summary of the whole thing:

uncomment the following in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

LoadModule authn_core_module libexec/apache2/mod_authn_core.so
LoadModule authz_host_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_host.so 
LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_userdir.so 
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

Then,go to /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.confand uncomment:

Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf 

Your /etc/apache2/users/YOURUSERNAME.conf file should contain the following:

  DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index index.html default.html default.htm
  AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
  Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
  
   Require all granted
  
  
   Require all denied
  

Now create the Sites folder in your home directory, restart apache, and all should be working properly.
