Could well be.  Others offered good suggestions re rebuilding and order 
in extensions.ini, but I did spot a couple of things in your config:

Nothing in /var/log/messages either?

Shouldn't that be <Directory "/usr/local/www"> ie DocumentRoot?

As advised by Apache docs re security, it's worth adding here:
   UserDir disabled root

Ok, annotating this section:

The <IfModule mod_php5.c> section should come last, after !mod_php4.c, 
or index.php isn't treated as a DirectoryIndex.  I don't know if php5 
install sticks it in there or what, but I've had to fix it here before.

Looks right here.

Presumably unchanged/ok?
