Show Index of /usr/share/doc/packages

Hello,

want to read the documents in /usr/share/doc/packages like in
/srv/www/htdocs/manual shown as an index of /manual resp. index of
/packages.

SuSE Linux 8.1 Apache Server 1.3.26


In http.conf are the following entries:

Alias "/manual/" "/srv/www/htdocs/manual/"

<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/manual">
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias "/docs/" "/usr/share/doc/packages/"

<Directory "/usr/share/doc/packages">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Calling http://<server>/manual/
shows the correct index.

Calling http://<server>/docs/
shows

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /docs/ on this server.

Have you any idea?

Marianne

Your configuration looks good. Please post the significant content of the
ErrorLog-file. Maybe Apache don't have permission to read
/usr/share/doc/packages (denied by the filesystem), but for my opinion
everbody can access to this folder. The ErrorLog-file will bring
clarification.
