Check the permissions on the /home/michael/public_html/www directory and
the path to it.  

You are using the same IP address for both servers.  In IP based virtual
hosting I think you should be using different IP addresses.

If you are trying to do named based virtual hosts then you probably want
something along the lines of:


# Virtual host default
<VirtualHost www.default.com>
     ServerName www.default.com
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
    LogLevel debug
     HostNameLookups off
</VirtualHost>

# Virtual host michael
<VirtualHost www.michael.com>
     DocumentRoot /home/michael/public_html/www
     ServerAdmin mshaw at dowco.com
     ServerName www.michael.com
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml
</VirtualHost>

Then have things setup in your /etc/hosts files or DNS for those names
pointing to the same IP address.

This allows you to use one IP address for all the sites.  They get
directed to the correct document root based on the name used in the
browser.
