[SOLVED] Can't figure out why 403 forbidden on local machine

OK so this is bound to be something very simple, but I have come to the stage whereby I cannot see the forest for the trees as they say.

I have just installed a fresh LAMP setup on my local machine for development.

- Browsing to localhost/test.php and localhost/index.php output the correct php documents.
- Browsing to just localhost gives 403.

Details are as follows:

http:x:503:502:http:/srv/http:/bin/false

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/srv/http">
    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/srv/http"
        ServerAdmin root@localhost
        ServerAlias localhost
        ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/127.0.0.1-error_log"
        CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/127.0.0.1-access_log" common
        <Directory /srv/http/>
                DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html
                AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
                Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks MultiViews +Includes
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName sure2dev.co.uk
        ServerAlias www.sure2dev.co.uk

        ServerAdmin development@******
        ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/sure2dev-error_log"

                DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php

                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

....OMFG I just seen it. My apologies lol

For future reference:

I didn't have index.php defined within my default VirtualHost (I stupidly only added it to my other VirtualHost)
