Ap[ache "Internal Server Error" on some files

[Gilbert Sebenste]

Hello all,

Starting with FC7, if I type in http://mywebserver.com/sjfdfgsx.conf
or anything that ends in .conf, I get the dreaded "internal server error":

[Sun Aug 05 12:24:57 2007] [error] [client 131.156.129.66] ModSecurity:

How do I fix this in httpd.conf? Thanks for any help.
