Don't know if this is the problem you are having, but I noticed
in F8 that they started shipping mod-security with apache. As
near as I could tell from available documentation on configuring
it (i.e. no documentation at all), the sole purpose of mod-security
is to prevent anyone from accessing anything at all for any reason
on your web server :-).

I gave up attempting to understand yet another insane layer of
obscure syntax on top of the already impossible to understand
cryptic apache config files and simply used yum to erase
mod-security, and everything suddenly started working again.

P.S. I'm not sure it is spelled exactly "mod-security" (hard to
check, since I erased it - I can't ask the rpm name :-).
