same type of messages in the log file.
I should have checked there.

You are correct that I did not have a <Directory /home/sites/home>  section.
However, I did have two sections:

<Directory /home/sites/>
<Directory /home/sites/*/>

Now, when I added <Directory /home/sites/home> between these and restarted Apache, it did not help.  Still errors.

When I replaced:
<Directory /home/sites/*/>
Options -FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>

with:
<Directory /home/sites/*/>
AllowOverride All
Options -FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>

it works!


Questions:

1) 
Why did:
 
<Directory /home/sites/*/>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit
Options -FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>

not work?  I wouldhave thought this was a ?AuthConfig? option?

2) Is <Directory /home/sites/*/> inherently less safe that: <Directory /home/sites/home/> ?

3) Precdence, can one have both and depending which is higher, ect.?

4) Good explaination of what the 
AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit
Options -FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Lines are allowing my clients to actually do!


Many thanks everyone!
Tim
