 You are correct, my path is:
 
 /usr/local/etc/httpd/icons
 
 These icons are used when providing a file list to the browser.
 The icons have been added using AddIcon.  The images named appear in
 the browser, but each icon says I don't have permission to access
 those files.  File permissions are correct.  Give it a try with this
 URL:
 
 http://www.ntwrld.com/~jeffl/pixpost/resources/
 
 You'll get a file list.  Try to view an icon and see what you get for
 a message.  I would like for these icons to display.
