Have you changed the DocumentRoot from the default?
If so, do you have a separate virtualhost configured for the SSL port (I 
seem to remember that the default httpd.conf does that) and does it have 
the same DocumentRoot and access permissions?

I don't have a webserver running on Fedora at the moment, but my 
apache's httpd.conf (mostly default) looks something like this (note the 
repeated DocumentRoot entries and the Redirect to force SSL on the 
supprt/utils diretory):

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

DocumentRoot "/usr/add/www/html-new"
ServerName internal.avlsi.com
ServerAlias internal www www.internal.avlsi.com
ServerAdmin root at internal.avlsi.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/access_log

SSLEngine on
