uhm

delete the manual directory in your public html or htdocs dir??

Well, there's a symbolic link set up (guessing) for that directory or more likely a Directory Alias. Removing it would remove it for every site on the server (assuming it is an Alias and not a simple symbolic link), but one thing you can try is using the full path to the file. In other words, you are either using this link: www.mysite.com/manual (or are are typing it in directly). Instead, try typing in the exact file name you are trying to access (example: www.mysite.com/manual/index.shtml).

This worked for me when I used a RaQ and tried to install a forum in the site's root web directory. When you do this, the admin directory for the forum is www.site.com/admin but it also happens to be path to the server's control panel for the site. Typing in the *exact* file got around this.

I do not know if it will work with your server. It might, but RaQs use a modified Red Hat Linux, so try it and see...

Tell the host to remove a line similar to this in their httpd.conf: Alias /manual /path/to/manual. It should be harmless for everyone and the host.

HI!
I guess chicken is correct here.
The server may have an Alias.

I hope that helps.
Have a great day :)
