Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Have you try with the .access file? and i have found that on the apache website.

Permission denied
A Permission denied error in the error_log, accompanied by a Forbidden message to the client usually indicates a problem with your filesystem permissions, rather than a problem in the Apache HTTP Server configuration files. Check to make sure that the User and Group running the child processes has adequate permission to access the files in question. Also check that the directory and all parent directories are at least searchable for that user and group (i.e., chmod +x).

Recent releases of Fedora Core and other Linux distributions using SELinux have additional access restrictions beyond those used by the basic filesystem. Violations of these restrictions will also result in a Permission denied message. See the Fedora SELinux FAQ and Apache SELinux Policy Document.

yes u are right. I resolved that problem with disabling SELinux feature


thanks a lot
