That looks like it might be some <Directory />...</Directory> section 
in your main httpd.conf that doesn't allow apache to serve files from 
/usr/local/koha. You can either try to fix it, or install koha's web 
files (intranet and opac) somewhere that the apache config does like 
(maybe /var/www or /home). If this is a Mandrake default, it would be 
good to know what is a safe suggestion.

I'd guess it's "you don't have to pay for the koha code, so it can't 
be any good," right? There are still people who think like that and 
some universities can be slow to change while others are early 
adopters and experimenters... oh, and don't forget language bigotry. 
I'm a schemer comfortable with a reasonably good perl solution, but 
people from the "big OO" languages seem afraid of using systems in 
other languages IMO.
