I haven't got a lot of time right now, put perhaps if there was
relevant messages in error_log, access_log you could mail them here.
If there's not, turn Rewrite Logging up to 3 or 4 and try your
requests again.

Post the errors here, it will help whoever is trying to debug your
problem.

Also, if you could post the platform, version(s) of apache and any
errors 'apachectl configtest' produces, it would be of help.
