Apache and folders named "error"

Hello,

I have a problem in apache 2 Linux server.

When I create a folder called "error" in a sub domain, apache doesn't read it. I tried with different permissions and proprietary (root and sub domain owner) but doesn't read the index.html.

In other sub domain the same problem occurs.

Quote:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /error/ on this server.
Apache Server at subdomain.domain.com Port 80
Apache reserves the name "error" for internal use?

Thanks in advance.-

Really? Did you change this?

Try chown apache:apache error

Where does this directory reside, is it under apache's directory structure?

Y tried with apache as owner but the problem persists.
