Bug#307798: apache: Name clash for /icons/ and /images/

[Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>]

Package: apache
Version: 1.3.33-4
Severity: important

I was suprised that on the fresh installed Apache server, the following URL
doesn't work:

http://limbdemo.localhost/images/p-by-limb.gif

In the error.log:

[Thu May  5 17:03:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.5] File does not exist: /usr/share/images/p-by-l
imb.gif

Unfortunately, I can't "reset" these aliases for virtual host.

I think the aliases like /icons/ or /images/ or /doc/ are very unfortunate and
provokes many problems if the services on virtual servers utilise the same name
for directories.
