Shandy,
If you could give us an idea of what's happening right now with the
site, I might be able to help since that's my blog entry 
Common things that go wrong include using Windows line breaks instead
of Unix line breaks, incorrect permissions and such.
Have you tried deploying a very simple site like the blog entry demo'd?
Marlon
well, we really have to address that permissions error first. It's
even a problem in the root of your site. Did you copy the .htaccess
file there also?
Don't know if it helps. But check the order and options in the
VirtualHost config if you have access to that or the order in
the .htaccess file.
This is what I have:
[...]
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
Order allow, deny
allow from all
