Code:

<Directory /var/www/>

#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

#
# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
#
    AllowOverride None

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

You need to look into this apache directive in your httpd.conf file. and set up access to that directory your site is in.

<Directory /your/website/dir/>
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

add this to your httpd.conf file and restart the apache daemon.

Is a VERY Basic directory setup.... I would suggest doing some research in to the <Directory> directive...
