Marcus,

  Connect to the server (ssh/telnet) and do a "tail /var/log/httpd/error" and 
see what the server says when you try to go to the web page that you are 
getting the error on.  Have you tried restarting httpd since changes were 
made???  Have not seen this specific problem, so am "fishing" a bit, but the 
error log should give us some idea of what is happening (or not happening as 
the case may be)...
