Does apache have execute permission on your home directory? By default,
Redhat sets home directory permissions as 700 (drwx------) which would deny
apache any access to "/home/hodgson/www". In that case ypu'd get an
access-denied error when trying to browse there in your web browser.
If that's the case, then "chmod +x $HOME" will fix that.

Also, it's common these days to use a single httpd.conf file for apache's
config, and to ignore the access.conf and srm.conf files. Check the
AccessConfig and ResourceConfig directives in httpd.conf to verify
whether your sysytem is using them.
