title: Why might a virtual link work, but the actual folder not work? (Linux and Vagrant)
body: <p>This is at least to me a very mysterious mystery.</p>
  
  <p>I am running a <code>Vagrant</code> box running Ubuntu 14 Linux, and a standard LAMP stack.  There is no <code>.htaccess</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>If I have a folder <code>/Library/css</code> and call any page of any type in it I get <code>net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE</code>.  <em>BUT</em>, if I rename the folder <code>css-actual</code> and then do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ln -s css-actual css # symbolic link
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything works.  This behavior is baffling, any ideas?  It's like there's "something" saying "hey, I won't serve content from a folder named /Library/css, but I'll serve it through a symlink."  Never experienced before.</p>
