That worked! I restarted (I didn't know I had to do that--when am I
supposed to restart?) and the folder from /home/<my name>/public_html
popped up. Seizing the opportunity, I put in my website there
(changing the default.htm to index.html) and it worked! So, this
experience leaves me with a few questions
1.When should I know to restart the server?
2. Why aren't the pages being served from /var/www/html/ like the
DocumentRoot says? Is there another configuration file that's
overriding it somewhere?
3) Why can't I use default.htm (not a big deal obviously)
4) Since I clearly don't know what I'm doing, what would be a good
resource/book to use to teach me more about Apache/Linux?
Thank you so much to everyone that helped!

As you can see, the actual response you get is a 403 Forbidden. This
is the way Red Hat and its derivatives serve the default test page:
in absence of an actual /var/www/html/index.html, Apache would serve
the directory index, which is forbidden by /etc/httpd/conf.d/
welcome.conf. The corresponding line in the error log file is:
[Tue Jan 16 11:40:08 2007] [error] [client 10.11.0.103] Directory
index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/
You say that you commented out the welcome.conf stuff (and restarted
Apache, right?), and yet you are still sending out 403s. What error
log entries are you getting when you try to access / on your server?
