my mrtg.conf  file is like this. this is on Centos 4.4

[root at worldnet conf.d]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/mrtg.conf
#
# This configuration file maps the mrtg output (generated daily)
# into the URL space.  By default these results are only accessible
# from the local host.
#
Alias /mrtg /var/www/mrtg

<Location /mrtg>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from all
</Location>

then, you need index.html file.pls issue below command.

indexmaker /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg > /var/www/mrtg/index.html

R u on Centos 5.X? What about Selinux ? is it enabled? if it is
enabled, pls set apaches's /var/www/html Selinux context to /var/www
as follows

chcon --reference=/var/www/html/ -R /var/www/
