>Description:
All I ever get is the default icon from my browser when displaying files.
When I attempt to view the specific icon; e.g. folder.gif; I get the
message:

Forbidden
You do not have authorization to access this file from this server.

I have provided a ScriptAlias to my /icons directory:
ScriptAlias /icons/ /etc/httpd/icons

I have provided a Directory directive:

<Directory /icons>
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
Options None
</Directory>

The server runs as user nobody (-1) and group users.
The /icon directory is owned by nobody, group users, as
are all the icon files.

The permissions are 0644 on the icon files.

What am I overlooking/doing wrong?
