I have a subdirectory named "icons" in the htdocs directory of the project. This subdirectory has usual permissions (read allowed to anyone):

Nonetheless, the "icons" folder is not available over the web, ie. this URL returns a "403 Forbidden" error: http://ptiblogphp.osdn.io/icons/
If I rename the "icons" directory to something else, for example "zicons", then it becomes available. I suspect that there must be some hardcoded rule in the apache configuration that forbids access to things called "icons". It is quite inconvenient.
