[users@httpd] problem with the DocumentRoot directive

[Ighal Joel Micha]

Hello,
        Would you tell me why am I getting the next error?

Configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ServerAlias xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        DocumentRoot /home/library-base
        <Directory />
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
         </Directory>
         <Directory "/home/library-base">
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
