Sorry that was a dumb mistake I made, but I get the same error even after
correcting it and pointing to:

You don't have permission to access /~amaynard/hello.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/5.0.4 DAV/2
mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.6 Server at localhost Port 80

It doesn't look like I have an apache2 directory in /etc or anywhere
else.

root at libranet:/etc# locate apache2
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-html/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/hints-daemons-apache2.html

Thanks very much.
