[users@httpd] Fedora Core 1 - Apache 2.0.47-10 - 403 Forbidden - mrtg

[Shawn Iverson <sh...@nccsc.k12.in.us>]

I recently had a server die on me and am in the process of rebuilding a new
one, but I was talked into using Fedora Core 1 this time around.  I am going
nuts over a "simple" problem.  
Perhaps someone could help?

Using apache with default settings I can pull up the apache test page fine
when I type in the server's address.  I can also open any html page that is
in /var/www/html/, which is normal.

/var/www/mrtg, however is not working:

Alias /mrtg/  /var/www/mrtg/
<Directory "/var/www/mrtg">
	Options  Indexes MultiViews
	AllowOverride None
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>



The /var/log/httpd/error-log has the following error:

client denied by server configuration: /var/www/mrtg

Well, ok, so I tried the following:

I moved /var/www/mrtg to /var/www/html/mrtg and removed the prior alias and
Directory operator and did the following (shouldn't be necessary, but tried
out of desperation):

<Directory "/var/www/html/mrtg">
	Options  Indexes MultiViews
	AllowOverride None
	Order allow,deny		(also tried deny,allow)
	Allow from all
</Directory>

Then I did a killall -HUP httpd...still doesn't work.
I also tried service httpd restart with no improvement.

Interestingly enough, apache refuses to look anywhere, except /var/www/mrtg
for mrtg, even when no references for mrtg exist in httpd.conf!

Making a symlink from /var/www/html does not work, and 
Moving the mrtg folder elsewhere does not work (apache still thinks mrtg
resides in /var/www/mrtg, even when no references to mrtg are in the config
file).

What the heck is going on?  Is there any way around this?  I read an earlier
posting about this same issue on Fedora but did not find a solution:
