centos - Apache doesn't start: syntax error....DocumentRoot must be a directory

I read all the previous answer but I couldn't fix my problem.. I'm changing the server where my website is hosted and I'm setting again apache.. Now, after installing php, fail2ban, etc i have that issue:

service httpd start 
Avvio di httpd: Syntax error on line 292 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: DocumentRoot must be a directory
                                            [FALLITO]

I've already disabled selinux and restarted, but nothing happened..

sestatus 
SELinux status:                 disabled

In other answer I read to post that.. But I don't know what it is, but I saw it is very different from other I saw..

ls -laZ /var/www/html/
drwxr-xr-x root root ?                                .
drwxr-xr-x root root ?                                ..
drwxr-xr-x root root ?                                form

Obviously my httpd.conf has

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html”

The root I need is

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/form”

Now with the default root doesn't work, but before editing some files (I can't remember which) it started correctly.
I hope you can help me.. I am using cents 6.5 x64..
Thank you very much

Answer

As ETL mentioned, your problem is almost certainly the quote character in DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/form” - you need to use DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/form" (or just DocumentRoot /var/www/html/form, which works fine.).

Never edit a configuration file like this in a text editor that replaces "" with “” or -- with —, notably MS Word and Wordpad.
