Just to clarify the question -- which page exactly shows the error? Are you trying to visit the webserver page, such as http://localhost? Or are you trying to access a user page, such as http:://localhost/~username?

I'm not an apache expert, but I've had to wade through an apache install and config before.

When someone wants to access a webpage, it must be world readable. And the directory it is in must be world rx as well. Make sure /var/www/html and /var/www/index/ is chmod to 755, and that the index.html files contained therein are 644.

And if you ever intend on using the server to serve out user pages (I recommend that you use a standard user for any webdevelopment you might do), then you'll need "UserDir public_html" uncommented:

Code:
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    #
    # UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the presence
    # of a username on the system (depending on home directory
    # permissions).  
    #
    #UserDir disable

    #
    # To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html
    # directory, remove the "UserDir disable" line above, and uncomment
    # the following line instead:
    #
    UserDir public_html
 
</IfModule>
The above will make http://www.blah.com/~user work. And make sure that you have the following somewhere:

Code:
DirectoryIndex index.html
Note, there can be other files listed there as well, separated by spaces (such as main.html, index.php, etc.) These are the files that the server will use as the "default" page for each user if the request http://www.blah.com/~user/ is issued.

Let us know if that works for you.
