Default can't get symlinks to show up correctly

I'm running a fresh, vanilla install of Apache on Openbsd
OpenBSD foo.mydomain.com 3.3 GENERIC#44 i386
Apache is running and I can see the install welcome page.

From what I've read in the documentation the following (default)
settings in httpd.conf should allow me to create symlinks in my htdocs
directory.

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


so I tried
#cd /var/www/htdocs
#ln -s /usr/local/share/doc/mysql mysql

#ls -l mysql
Shows me the files. All of them have a+r and mysql is a+rx

But I get a 404 when I try to access the files in that dir using a browser.

What else should I be doing here?

Best wishes

Sukotto
