Is your access denied error just for trying to view an index, or does it
happen when trying to view anything?
Did you set that directive /after/ any opposing rules, were set? And is
your filepath inside the usual docroot, or outside of it? (It goes
inside <Directory> clauses.)
The files, and all the directories back to the Linux /, all need to be
world-readable, and the directories also need to be world executable.
e.g. /var/
/var/www/
/var/www/html/
/var/www/html/whatever-else/
All need to have at least -------r-x directory permissions, and
-------r-- file permissions.
Likewise, if you're serving from /home/your-username/public_html/
If SELinux is enforcing, then there needs to be a "httpd_sys_content" or
"httpd_user_content" context to the file and directories, too. That'll
be set, by default, if you create or copy files in the usual web serving
filepaths; but not if you created them elsewhere, and moved them over.
If you're serving from an unusual filepath, then you'll need to manually
apply file contexts. And you'll need to re-apply them anytime there's a
relabelling of the file system, or, you'd create a rule for your serving
filespace, so it gets labelled automatically.
You may also need to tick some options on inside a SELinux configurator,
regarding local webserving, too.
