- are you sure you are editing the correct config file? Make a
deliberate syntax error and do "apachectl configtest" to check it
detects the error.

- what is the argument to DocumentRoot? This is where apache starts to
look for content...

- what do you have in the doc root directory? BTW, I assume you mean
something like /usr/local/apache/htdocs in your post above (/htdocs is a
different place entirely...).
