I've just experienced the same behaviour on Mandriva 2006, therefore I added
Code:
<Directory /var/www/sharedip>
Options +Includes -Indexes
AllowOverride None
AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>
to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
I've also modified the ISPConfig installer so that it will write this section to the httpd.conf in future versions automatically.
