selinux security ...
I don't know if this can be the case...

Hi Henrik, it's been a long time. Yes, I did include the hobbit-apache.conf piece in the httpd.conf file.  (and I only made the permissions 777 to troubleshoot this), but it makes no difference. It is running on RHEL 4.0, apache 2.0, and I can't see what else would be restricting permission to /hobbit/. Got         
any ideas?

You do have at least  a+x access on every directory in the       
path to the     
hobbit directory, right??  Or equivalent group access for the webserver group??  If not, your web server won't be able to       
traverse     
the path to get there...

Yes sir I do. I went one step further and gave every directory from / to the hobbit directory 777 permissions. How could access be denied?

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR !!  I was just thinking the same thing and disabling SElinux when I got your email! The system was a little bit TOO secure.
thanks for everyone's help!
