combinations of directives are not needed, you have a very strange
setup, with a virtual host with a doc root, and then some directory
stanzas with config that lie outside this doc root. i would imagine
you plonked that there from the main file, or wrapped the main file
with vhost stuff.
simply check out the docs they have examples.
