<Directory> refers to filesystem directories, not web directories.
You need to tag /var/www/localhost/htdocs on the front.
In general, always check the error log when you run into stuff like this.

Many recent browsers automatically request a favicon.ico located in the root
directory of all sites they visit. It is the little icon you see next to
the URL and Bookmarks for some sites.
There is a handy web application for making these from any image file at
http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ - if you save one of these
as favicon.ico in the root of each site you will stop seeing these error
messages. They are safely ignorable too.

Haa... thanks, yes that did it. Now about that log message:
(error_log)
[Tue Oct 04 19:32:57 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.4] Directory
index forbidden by rule:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography/,
referer: http://reader.local.net0/hpweb/TrainingVids/
Is there some way I could have made apache tell me what `rule' as in
`forbidden by rule:' above, has been violated?
I tried setting log level to debug but saw nothing more.
Speaking of log messages... I keep seeing this in error_log:
[Tue Oct 04 19:38:03 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.4] File does not
exist: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/favicon.ico
How can I tell what is looking for this file. And where to get it?
