What are the permissions on /home/server?

Is the directory and files readable by apache?

Do you have an index.html file in that directory?

You will need to have the execute bit set on the directories as well.

Try:
chmod 755 /home/server
chmod 644 /home/server/index.html
chown -R apache /home/server

Try adding a directory section below the DocumentRoot to your configuration:
Code:
DocumentRoot /home/server
<Directory "/home/server">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
Then restart apache. If that doesn't work then check in your error_log file to see if there is more information there.

The default order rule needed to be set to allow.
