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

[Eric Kilfoil]

I'm assuming that you've figured this out by now, but I wanted to give you
a little piece of advice.  With name-based virtual hosting it is sometimes
handy to add %v to your combined logformat directive.  This will show you
which virtual host is handling the particular request.

Also, it's worth noting that a peek in the error_log will give a more
informative answer on permission problems.
