The fact that you see the index page makes me assume SELinux is not the problem. If you do have it enabled you might want to check out the sebooleans that affect apache. $ getsebool -a | grep http httpd_enable_homedirs is one of those. Remember that file access is based on file permissions in combination with file ownership. This means that if apache is neither owner nor group owner of a file world must have read access for apache to access such files. A 711 permission on a directory is then insufficient. It allows apache to cd to, but not read the directory.
