Yes.... makes sense, Apache doesn't have permission. I found this in 
the FAQ:

14) Why do I get a "Forbidden" message whenever I try to access a 
particular directory?
This message is generally caused because either

The underlying file system permissions do not allow the User/Group 
under which Apache is running to access the necessary files; or
The Apache configuration has some access restrictions in place which 
forbid access to the files.
You can determine which case applies to your situation by checking the 
error log.

In the case where file system permission are at fault, remember that 
not only must the directory and files in question be readable, but also 
all parent directories must be at least searchable (i.e., chmod +x 
/directory/path) by the web server in order for the content to be 
accessible.

15) Why do I get a "Forbidden/You don't have permission to access / on 
this server" message whenever I try to access my server?
Search your conf/httpd.conf file for this exact string: <Files ~>. If 
you find it, that's your problem -- that particular <Files> container 
is malformed. Delete it or replace it with <Files ~ "^\.ht"> and 
restart your server and things should work as expected.

This error appears to be caused by a problem with the version of 
linuxconf distributed with Redhat 6.x. It may reappear if you use 
linuxconf again.

If you don't find this string, check out the previous question.

---------------
Okay, so I am a OSX naive old-fart newby, but where do I go to fix it? 
Is this something I have to do through Terminal?


  There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.
