hi everyone,

I freshly emerged apache2. it's running but now I've a strange problem.

If I set my pages too deep in directory, apache2 always return me, a
403 Forbidden:You don't have permission to access /doc/apache2/manual/ on this server.

not working example (-> 403 Forbidden):
content of /home/httpd/htdocs/index.html
Code:
<a href=doc/apache2/manual/> Here </a>


working example (-> OK page load):
content of /home/httpd/htdocs/index.html
Code:
<a href=apache2/manual/> Here </a>

where apache2 is just a symlink pointing to /home/httpd/htdocs/doc/apache2

Permission problem ??? don't thnk so:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Aug 16 00:28 apache2 -> /home/httpd/htdocs/doc/apache2
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 272 Aug 15 21:29 doc

NB. For the moment, all my configuration files are using the default values of a fresh install (except /etc/conf.d/apache2 which use now SSL & PHP4).

Does anyone know, what's the problem ?!? thanks in advance for any help :D

[edit]---
Hey changing the name of the directory from "doc" to "docu" allow the page to load ?!?

Waugh, still interested to know why it wasn't working with "doc" !!!

Thanks !
