- did you restart apache? /sbin/service httpd restart
- did you clean your pc's cache?
- did you eventually clean your proxy's cache?
- have you not just set your document root directive, but also the directory-directive:
    <Directory "/var/www/html"> to <Directory "/mnt/SharedFiles/www"> in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf?
- does the user running apache the appropriate rights ?
