[newbie] Apache or Mandrake permissions problems?

[Jaime Magiera]

I'm stumped on this problem. I've created a virtual host in my apache 
vhosts config (pointing to a home directory). However, I'm still 
getting permission denied errors. I've read and re-read the Apache 
docs, which leads me to believe this is something I don't understand 
about Mandrake 10. If I chmod 755 the person's home directory folder 
(for testing purposes only), the problem is aleviated. I don't get it, 
because the URL's in the directives below are correct. Isn't the 
directive supposed to supersede the permission of the upper level 
folders (/home/person) ?

Here's the configuration...
DocumentRoot "/home/person/public_html"
	ServerName person.com
 	ServerAlias www.person.com
	Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes IncludesNOEXEC Indexes 
MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
	DirectoryIndex "index.html" "index.php"
	<Directory "/home/person/public_html">
	   	Options  All -Includes +Indexes +MultiViews +ExecCGI
   		AllowOverride All
   		<IfModule mod_access.c>
			order allow,deny
			allow from all
   		</IfModule>
	</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/permission_error_log
LogLevel emerg
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/permission_access_log
LogFormat "combined"

thanks,
Jaime
