Steve, Look in /var/log/httpd/error_log and find out what pages from where are being denied. Check the permissions on the directories all the way down to the document being denied, and the document itself. Are there any symbolic links in the chain? That's a problem that needs to have the appropriate directives in httpd.conf specified to fix.

Noticed that the SuSE apache configuration is incomplete. For one thing their /etc/httpd/httpd.conf says the document root is /opt/www/... but most is at /usr/local/httpd/htdocs. The SuSE provided index.html points to /usr/share/doc too, but with httpd running in chroot I think you cannot get to that. But this was in the beta. Maybe it is fixed already in their production version. Who knows. Rob
