Ah, yes.  Unfortunately, I already looked there and did not find 
anything.  Warn, notice, error, alert, and emerg are the only types of 
entries I see.  The error_log file is not being updated after I attempt 
to go to /test/ and get the 403 error, nor does it contain any data from 
previous attempts.  Could this be related to the level of error logging 
specified in the conf file?  Do I need to blow out the contents of 
error_log?

Done, but it has not made a difference.

Ok then, I have regressed that change (Deny from all).

Done, but again, it has not made a difference.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
