You're still posting apache questions to mod_ssl too :-)

You must have another directive somewhere which is blocking you.
Remember that apache is a program which allows external users to
download files from your server - this is potentially very dangerous and
so apache is, by default, cautious. You must specifically allow access
to let files be seen. The directives which do this are all in mod_access
which is a base-level module (compiled in by default). Check its
documentation for details.

Check your config again and look for "Allow", "Deny" and "Order"
directives. Work out what directories they apply to and in what order
they are being used (the order of these directives is important).
Especially, look out for an "Order Allow,Deny" directive on a directory
above  /path/to/newhtdocs.

A typical safe configuration is like this:

# Block the whole filesystem unless specifically allowed
<Directory />
  Deny from all
</Directory>

# Allow access specifically to "newhtdocs"
<Directory /path/to/newhtdocs>
  Allow from all
</Directory>
