[users@httpd] Indexing outside of DocumentRoot and Directory

[LDB <thesource@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the following ..


DocumentRoot "/srv/www/webroot"

<Directory "/srv/www/webroot">

....STUFF

</Directory>


and I am trying to allow

/srv/www/readit to be a directory that ONLY shows
indexes. I have tried

Alias /readit /srv/www/readit
<Directory /readit>
        Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
        AllowOverride None
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>


but it will not work.

Here is the error ..

[Wed Aug 16 19:49:18 2006] [error] [client 225.117.79.221] client denied by 
server configuration: /srv/www/readit

but the permissions are the following,

myserver:/srv/www # ls -al readit
total 20
drwxrwsr-x   4 wwwrun www 4096 2006-08-08 04:15 .
drwxrwsr-x  40 wwwrun web 4096 2006-08-16 16:43 ..


Any ideas?
