Stumped - Access Forbidden on Virtual Host

[mdaoust5]

I am absolutely stumped. I have been trying to setup a virtual host, but keep getting an "Access Forbidden" error whenever I try to access it.

Here is my v-hosts file:

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\websites"
ServerName qlb
</VirtualHost>

I have not changed httpd.conf at all, and have put in just a simple index.html file in the websites directory.

Any idea what is going on?
