The plot thickens!
I checked the two logs (access and error) for entries for the 28th while I tried to access the website at both the default page (yields "It Works!") and my stub file(x.html) (never gets there) and neither added an entry to either log. These entries reveal errors back when the httpd.conf had been edited. It is now back to the as installed default. So if I never get to the page how is there no error!
Error log first
Here are the respective logs last entries:[Thu Mar 25 22:09:30 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8l DAV/2 configured -- resuming normal operations
