1)Apache starts up as root and then sets uid to whatever user specified in the config
file.
Lets say your umask is such that all the dirs you create do not have read permissions
for
all, then the apache process cannot access your dir. Even if you are running the
browser
on the same box, the user actually accessing the files is whoever apache is running as.
You probably already know this but I am addressing it on the outside chance that you
dont.
change the user and group parameters in httpd.conf to your id , restart apache and
see if it is able to access your dir.
2)
Do you have any aliases set that may causing apache to look elsewhere ?
