I'm trying to set up aliases to different html directories
under /usr/share/doc.  I've run into a snag.  My first one if for
syslog-ng.  Here's the Apache2 config for it:

bullet modules.d # cat 01_manuals.conf
Alias /manuals/syslog-ng "/usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html"
<Directory /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>


I restarted /etc/init.d/apache2 and poined my web browser to
www.espersunited.com/manuals/syslog-ng.  It gave me a 403 Forbidden.  I
checked the permissions from /usr all the way down
to /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html and all were 755.  The
contents of /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html were 444, but I don't
think that's a problem.  I looked at /var/log/apache2/error_log for the
source of the problem and found this:

[Sat Dec 17 17:32:24 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.3] Directory index
forbidden by rule: /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html/


I thought "Allow from all" meant that anyone could access the directory?
What am I doing wrong?
