Walk your way back up the directory tree to / and check that all the
paths on the way are readable by the Apache user (apache). If the
directories aren't executable by apache, it can't walk down the tree
to your files and .htaccess. Looking at your config, my first guess
would be that your /home/user directory doesn't have world execute
permissions.
