apache helping went I don't want it to help

[Zbigniew Koziol]

After all who wrote here:

This is certainly a problem of apache configuration (httpd.conf?)

I would play with disabling (uncommenting) some directives and checking 
what happens after that, to find out what causes the problem and next to 
learn how to configure properly.

These sorts of experiments should not though be done on a live server.
