I have tried to create a new folder 'test' in my documentroot of my Apache2 installation, however, whenever I try and access it from a web-browser it gives me a 403 (forbidden) error.
My virtualhosts file -
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
  ServerName REMOVED
  DocumentRoot /var/www/
  <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    AuthType Digest
    AuthName "documentroot"
    AuthDigestProvider file
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd
    Require user REMOVED
    AllowOverride Indexes
  </Directory>
 <Directory /var/www/>
   Options FollowSymLinks
   Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
 </Directory>
<Directory /var/www/share/>

  Allow from all

Other information -
If I create a new folder (and use chmod --reference to ensure it has the same permissions as an accessible folder), I get a 403 client-side.
If I copy folder 'rapidleech' to the name 'rapidleech1', it will let access 'rapidleech1', but no longer 'rapidleech', until I delete the copy.
In my logs I found nothing logged in errors.log, and only that it delivered a 403 in access.log.
