Hello all,

I have an apache manual directory located in /usr/local/share/doc/apache2 
which I'm trying to link from my local website. I symlink the folder to a 
local folder in my home directory and all I'm getting is "directory index 
forbidden by rule" when I looked inside the log file. The problem it seems to 
be on the extra filename tacked on the htmls file ie: index.html.en, 
index.html.ja and all. I tried plain old index.html and all are fine.

I tried adding the line AddOutputFilter Includes html on the directory where 
the symlink and the actual folder but still no go. It only happens in virtual 
host context, if I put the <Directory> statement in global context, it work. 
The only caveat is that I have to put an alias; or else there' no way I'm 
able to reference the folder.

Here's the directives that I put in the VHost context;

<Directory "/home/ihsan/www/data/freebsd/docs">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AddOutputFilter Includes html
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
 </Directory>

<Directory "/usr/local/share/doc/apache2">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AddOutputFilter Includes html
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

I don't want to refer the files in global aliasing/directory context. I only 
want to refer them from my local directory. I have a bunch of html docs 
located in /usr/local/share/docs which I symlinked just fine and apache is 
the only misbehaving kid on the block.

Hope someone can help.
