Apache 403 Forbidden confusion

I recently got RH 9.0 installed on one of my test boxes. Among the services I installed was Apache 2.0.40. The default installation went ok, however, when I tried to change the DocumentRoot and the Directory I now get a 403 Forbidden error. Apache is running as apache.apache, I have changed the permissions to 755, 775 & 777 in attempts to make it work.

The apache DocumentRoot is now /home/httpd/web/html/. Below are the directives for that directory.
<Directory />
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I have a index.htm file in the directory above and the DirectoryIndex has index.htm in it. In my error_log this is what I am getting.
[Sat Aug 16 21:59:45 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied

Can anyone offer any advice on this? I've searched google but didn't find anything that helped.

Chris
