I had a working configuration (and can get it back by changing the directory

[Thu Jan 20 09:33:48 2005] [error] [client 192.168.2.27] client denied by 
server configuration: /var/www/wetzker.org/htdocs/
[Thu Jan 20 09:51:51 2005] [error] [client 192.168.2.27] client denied by 
server configuration: /var/www/wetzker.org/htdocs/

is what the error logs look like.

I haven't really moved anything.  I am just trying to point the configuration 
file to a new root directory.  For some reason I thought that would be simple.
