Its not file permissions - So, I tried the suggestion. Now, in addition to access denied from the public IP, access is also denied on the localhost (I tried the alias and a physical path). AND the site with a FQDN got redirected to the default Apache site (/var/www). I was not expecting the currently working vhost to get broken like that. I changed things back as per the start of my post but, I guess this means something is very wrong with how the vhosts are setup. Some sort of namespace confusion by Apache?
