Did you change the first
<Directory >
directive to also be document root?  In my httpd.conf, this is around
line 175, and it says:
#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "something">

Did you make any entries in the httpd-vhosts.conf file?  Are any of
the <VirtualHost *:80> directives uncommented?
