It sounds like file permissions. But, first check your /etc/httpd.conf
and make sure DirAccess is set correctly. If DirAccess is set to On,
then anydir will return a listing. If DirAcess is set to Selective,
then you must have the file .www_browsable in that directory.
Assuming DirAccess is set correctly, check and make sure that the
NFS drive has been exported with read permissions, and it has been
mounted on a drive with permissions that nobody/nobody can read.
Even though the server is started by root, the sticky bit allows the
server to spawn the daemon as the nobody user, unless you have
specifically changed the UserId and GroupId to be a different user.
Just because the files are readable, that mount point/dir might not be.
Hope this helps...
