[SOLVED]HELP! Can't change Apache default documentRoot!

hi, everyone, I encountered a weired apache problem.

Environment:
     Archlinux 2.6.27
     Apache 2.2.9-4

Problem:
     I changed apache default DocumentRoot (/srv/http) to another place (/home/qianli/WWW/http), but I got Error 403 unless I used default. My httpd.conf below:

DocumentRoot "/home/qianli/WWW/http"
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/qianli/WWW/http">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
</IfModule>

My files permissions:

qianli ~/WWW/http $  ll
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  6 qianli qianli 4096 2008-10-22 10:04 .

Log:

I tried to change permission to 777, but I still got 403!

Re: [SOLVED]HELP! Can't change Apache default documentRoot!

Have you tried changing your /home/qianli/WWW/http to /home/qianli/public_html/http to see if it works?

@mycow,
       Thanks. As you said, I changed /home/qianli/WWW/http to /home/qianli/public_html/http, but I still got 403 error.

Re: [SOLVED]HELP! Can't change Apache default documentRoot!

have you enabled userdir or not? Can you send me your httpd.conf to check it out?

Re: [SOLVED]HELP! Can't change Apache default documentRoot!

Change the following
DocumentRoot "/home/qianli/WWW/http" to DocumentRoot "/home/qianli/public_html"
<Directory "/home/qianli/WWW/http"> to <Directory "/home/qianli/public_html">
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/qianli/WWW/http/cgi-bin/" to ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/qianli/public_html/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/home/qianli/WWW/http/cgi-bin"> to <Directory "/home/qianli/public_html/cgi-bin">

Create the folder public_html and tell me what errors do you get

Re: [SOLVED]HELP! Can't change Apache default documentRoot!

@mycow, thanks. I did it as you said, but nothing changes:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Your home directory is likely to have 700 permissions. See here.

OMG, foutrelis, you are right! I never found my home directory is 700 permissions, now I change it and everything is OK! Thank you, foutrelis, thanks mycow, too
