No more, I suspected that could be a problem and I eliminated all
symlinks to be sure.

Here the relevant modules:
ii  libapache2-mod-php5                5.1.6-5
ii  php5                               5.1.6-5
ii  php5-cli                           5.1.6-5
ii  php5-common                        5.1.6-5
ii  php5-gd                            5.1.6-5
ii  php5-mysql                         5.1.6-5

Apache is version 2.2.3-3.1, mysql is 5.0.30-1, kernel is
2.6.18-3-amd64.

The only change made to php.ini is increased the memory limit to 256M
and max execution time to 60 seconds.
There are non php related configuration in my apache2 config.

It's a 3rd party webapp build only on standard xoops modules, nothing
"strange" or developed in-house.
There are a couple .htaccess directive with this content:
Options All -Indexes
and:
order deny,allow
deny from all

Thanks,
Alex
