If I remember correctly, there is a patch on Cobalt's site that will fix
this for you. I believe it's included in one of the OS Updates. Other than
that, I can't recall what else you need to edit in the httpd.conf. I fought
with it myself for a day or two to fix this before I gave up and patched the
server.
