Some minor tweaking in hopes of making it more clear

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  = Client denied by server configuration =
- Access was denied by a deny directive.  This means that the access to the directory on the hard disk was denied by an Apache configuration.  [[BR]] This could be due to an explicit deny directive being set, or more likely an attempt to access a folder that is outside of the DocumentRoot.
+ This error means that the access to the directory on the hard disk was denied by an Apache configuration. It could be that access was denied due to an explicit [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/mod/mod_authz_host.html#deny deny] directive or due to an attempt to access a folder that is outside of the DocumentRoot.
  
- A few possible reasons to cause this entry to be recorded in your !ErrorLog
+ These are some reasons for this entry to be recorded in your !ErrorLog:
  
   * The default Apache config includes {{{Deny from all}}} in the <Directory> block the !DocumentRoot - this must be changed to allow access!
   * If you change the !DocumentRoot, you will need to change the <Directory> block referring the old root, to the refer to the new root
   * You need a <Directory> block for every folder outside of your !DocumentRoot, i.e. your cgi-bin folder.
   * You need a <Directory> or <Location> block for every Alias.
  
- To fix this problem, look at the line in your !ErrorLog, to find out which folder it is trying to access.   [[BR]] If a <Directory> block already exists for that folder, make sure it is set to allow access as necessary. If not, add a <Directory> block to your Apache configuration file, allowing access as required.  See the example below for folder /usr/local/awstats/htdocs
