Also make sure that it's not something simple that you may have
accidentally overlooked as well:
1.) Did you restart Apache after making any changes to php.ini or
httpd.conf?
2.) The path is cAsE-sEnSiTiVe. Did you make sure that it's
EXACTLY the same?
3.) Is any part of that symlinked, and if so, does Apache allow
FollowSymLinks?
4.) Is the account jailed or chroot'ed?
