Fresh install of Saucy. Apache2 configs from Raring are epic failure

Due to a GUI meltdown, I found it expedient to do a fresh install so I
chose Xubuntu Saucy.

All but one thing went well.  My web server is really down.

Now mind, the basics work.  I can access things in /var/www it seems,
but I usually keep only one file there.  I configure aliases to get to
everything else.

None of these are working.  Home directory pages are not working.  My
specialized code is not working.

And by not working I mean a pretty uniform 403 with an occasional 404.
 The error log points the finger at my configuration, saying "client
denied by server configuration"

For example, I have a directory devoted to a dear departed canine
companion named Ogden Gnash.  His stuff is stored in /www/Dogs/Oggie.
I have an alias thus:

Alias /Oggie /www/Dogs/Oggie
<Directory /www/Dogs/Oggie>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And when I try to go to http://kosmanor.com/Oggie the browser tells me
"You don't have permission to access /Oggie on this server." while the
error log contains "

[Wed Dec 25 18:22:22.504423 2013] [authz_core:error] [pid 6022:tid
140127561000704] [client 71.80.244.253:43755] AH01630: client denied
by server configuration: /www/Dogs/Oggie

What could be clearer?  It sees the Alias, but does not give access,
and it's not file permission (which I've checked anyway) but it's the
server configuration.

Anybody have a clue?  Even a clue as to where I should ask the question?
