Hi Ray

what does your <directory> </directory> tags show for directory /var/www ?

Mine is (I think its default)

# cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
         DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /var/www/>
                 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                 AllowOverride All
                 Order allow,deny
                 allow from all
</Directory>

If I remember correctly from my apache reconf days that you should be 
looking at the "Order" and "allow/deny from" directives.

AFAIK that should not be your problem, however where I in your position 
I would comment it out and test again :)
