[CLUE-Tech] Apache: "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server"

[jason at matchingmoms.com]

I'm trying to set up virtual hosting with Apache.  Whichever of my virtual
hosts I attempt to reach, I receive this error:

"Forbidden.  You don't have permission to access / on this server."

Here's a log entry:
