RE: [users@httpd] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied byserverconfiguration: /srv/www/htdocs/

That directory / deny will cause your 403 error, as well it should. I
wouldn't remove it.
If you want localhost to work, make sure the Directory block for
/srv/www/htdocs/ you have is in the first virtualhost you have
configured, as this is the virtualhost that apache will fall back on by
default if it doesn't find one for localhost (which it shouldn't unless
you have one called 'localhost')

Ok, found this in the main httpd.conf. The virtual servers are all
includes. So is it "safe" to comment this out? 

# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>
