I've read many of the related permissions posts on StackOverflow and others and do not see why my virtual hosts for Apache2.4 on Windows 2008 appears to work inconsistently. The main site is running Drupal and the other one is essentially a clone of it that I want to run on port 8080 as an example in Apache's documentation.
In httpd.conf I have
Listen 80
Listen 8080
The one for port 80 works, but the one for 8080 returns the 403 error page.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/Server/DOM
ServerName example.edu
<Directory C:/Server/DOM>
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot C:/Server/uat
ServerName example.edu
<Directory C:/Server/uat>
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Since this is Apache 2.4, the Require all granted is needed. The top one works, but the bottom one does not. I have compared the permissions on each directory and do not see any difference. The .htaccess is copied from the working one.
Apache returns this in its error log:
AH01797: client denied by server configuration: C:/Server/uat/
The only clue I'm seeing is when I remove the virtual host for port 80 and run https.exe -S
As you can see it's pulling in the default server and recognizes the config for the virtual host. I don't see any errors but clearly something I'm doing is wrong. Please show me what I should check next.

I have also checked the Windows Server to ensure that inbound ports for Apache24 are open for all.
