I can offer suggestions, but only based on your httpd.conf...

More importantly, does 'host simpaticus' return 127.0.0.1?

I presume by "all file permissions" you mean
/home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com/ and subdirectories.
I'd expect to find the following in your httpd.conf file, based on your
comments, are these there?
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.l:80>
DocumentRoot /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com
ServerName simpaticus
ServerAlias simpaticus.localhost
ErrorLog logs/www.simpaticus.com-error_log
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
The '127.0.0.1:80' may also appear as '*:80'.
