Getting an error when trying to access my webserver

You don't have permission to access / on this server."

I recently had a hard drive begin to fail on my webserver. I tarred my site directory and all my configurations. I then did a fresh OS install on a new drive and put everything back in place on it. Now when I try to access the site I get:
+++++++++
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any suggestions?
Using Fedora core1 and apache.

Well, for the hell of it I did a chmod 755 on the parent directory of my site directory and it fixed the problem.
