Apache Web Server Permissions

["Kyle Swidrovich" <kswidrovich globalstrategy com>]

I need some REAL help...

I have done something wrong, and I don't know what it is.
I am EXTREMELY desperate for help, because nobody else knows what's
wrong...

Every time I try to visit "localhost", "Tux", or "199.43.143.3" (names/IP)
in
a web browser on the local/remote machines, I get the message:

=====================================
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
=====================================

My httpd.conf is set for:

User nobody
Group nobody

and the root folder to be:  /home/httpd/html

And I tried setting the owner and group of the /home/httpd/html folder to
be nobody/nobody, but
it still doesn't work...

How can I fix this?

(I think the original reason why it stopped working was because somebody
chown'd the / folder
  recursively to the user "root")
