Unable to load javascript files on apache

I have the following file structure for a php application running with apache server in a debian computer.

/var/www/project/
|-- index/index.php
|-- local
    |-- view
    |   `-- *.php
    |-- model
    |   `-- *.php
    |-- controller
    |   `-- *.php
    |-- supportfiles
    |-- css
        |   `-- *.css
    |-- javascript
            `-- *.js
    . . .

I've configured apache so that when I type in my browser http://localhost, apache loads /var/www/project/index/index.php.

To do this, I've changed two files

/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

where I set 

DocumentRoot /var/www/project/index/

and the file

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

where I also set 

<Directory /var/www/project/index/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

This changes seem to work ok since http://localhost loads the intended index.php file located in the /var/www/project/index directory; however, I'm unable to load java script files such as the following 

<!-- <script language="JavaScript" src="../local/supportfiles/javascript/validation.js"></script>  -->

What is the problem here? I'm guessing the problem is that apache does not have access to /var/www/project/supportfiles/javasecript/*.js. The original apache configuration (where the apache root directory was /var/www/ and had to load the index.php file by typing http://localhost/project/index) loaded the java script files normally.

I Install phpmyadmin and after this javascript don´t load. I found on /etc/apache/conf.enabled the file javascript-common.conf inside this file has a line Alias /javascript /usr/share/javascript

This line make apache follow to /usr/share/javascript all content of pages. You need change on your pages of javascript to scripts or other name

Apache cannot serve files that are outside of the document root. In this case, your document root should probably be set to /var/www/project/. If you would like to be able to still access your site with http://localhost/ then you should move "index.html" to the root of the project folder. 

/var/www/project/
- index.php
- local/
    - view/
    - model/
    - controller/
    - supportfiles/
    - css/
    - javascript/
