Suse 9.2 doesn't run Apache in a chroot by default. I suspect you are experiencing permission problems though....
Check the apache config files (/etc/apache/httpd.conf - or something similar... ) to see what account it is running as. It's probably the "apache" user and group, but check the config to be sure. Then, make sure that user or group has permission to the directory you are trying to access. One gotcha that we ran into at the workshop was that the parent directory of the target directory also had to have proper access for the apache user before things would work properly. Don't know if that is the case here though. Hope that helps.
