that should be public_html not public_directory(unless you changed
httpd.conf. also be sure that apache has read access, which is
usually default, but if your more strict with security you may
need to:
chmod o+rx /home/westk /home/westk/public_html
so apache can access it. also all files in public_html need to
be readable by apache as well(again this is the default..)

what your trying is normal/basic apache stuff, not debian specific,
at least from what I gather from your post
