One problem is that some installs of FreeBSD (such as a 2.2.6 I once did) make
/home a symbolic link from /usr/home. This really screws up Apache, because IIRC
the default permissions for the / directory are "NoSymLinks" (check your
{srm|access|httpd}.conf files to see if this is the case). The solution is to
let Apache follow symbolic links, by using the following parameters:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
# any other stuff you need
</Directory>
HTH,
