Apache (13)Permission denied Error

I've been looking for the answer to this all night and haven't found anything even remotely helpful. If someone knows why this may be happening I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks again. Here's the error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.0.55 (FreeBSD) PHP/5.0.5 Server at x.x.x.x Port 80

error.log turns out this:
(13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied

ls -la returns this:
drwxr-xr-x 7 x shelluser 512 Oct 30 01:03 public_html
(x is the user's name, shelluser is the group)

and inside public_html, ls -la returns:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 x shelluser 11955 Oct 30 01:03 index.php

I created a virtual host for this directory and the <Directory thing is set correctly as far as i know...am I missing a flag or something? This is driving me crazy. Thanks again.
