I don't quite understand.
Have you tried copying your new site's contents into /home/httpd/html?
(Make sure you "su" to gain root privileges for the copy)
Any luck then? And give specific error messages.
One other thing: there is a file called /var/log/httpd/error_log that
might be of use. Read it; it doesn't seem that you're late enough in the
process of using your web server for it to be useful, but if there's
anything in it, say so!
I have to go to sleep right now, but I'll get back in touch within a few
hours. Good luck!
Sincerely,
Asheesh.

Oh, give me a home,
Where the buffalo roam,
And I'll show you a house with a really messy kitchen.
