--- VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry 
about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#

# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80

#Listen 80

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName e-adz.co.uk
#ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /root/eadz/
</VirtualHost>

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
  Order Deny,Allow
</Files>

<Directory /root/eadz/>
  Order Deny,Allow
  #Allow from
</Directory>


Alias /logs /usr/local/apache/logs/
Setenv VLOG /backup/apache/logs/
CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/advxsplitlogfile" vhost env=VLOG

Check what the error log says.

That is a *really* strange place for a doc root.

Eh? Why do you want everyone to be able to access your .htaccess files etc? 
Change that to "Order Allow,Deny". See documentation for the Order 
directive:
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_access.html#order

> <Directory /root/eadz/>

Ok, you have configured so that anyone should be able to access your doc 
root. However, does the Apache user have permissions to read the files in 
that directory? I guess not, as unless you messed around with permissions, 
only root should have access to the /root directory, and you should not run 
Apache as root.
