If one has a multi-site configuration, the URLs should not have the path to Drupal in it.
For example, if I installed Drupal off the htdocs root, the admin panel assumes the following:
http://www.mysite.com/drupal-6.6/filetoerror403.html

Error pages should be page nodes, not some file outside the Drupal system so that they can be rendered consistently with the overall theme.

Also, this is a potential security risk. Users can hit your website on purpose with a 403 error and the URL will show the path to Drupal providing more information to attack. I wanted to use RewriteBase /my-drupal-location to hide where Drupal existed. There should be no hint of Drupal in the URLs.

Is this still an issue using current Drupal 6?

Automatically closed because Drupal 6 is no longer supported. If the issue verifiably applies to later versions, please reopen with details and update the version.
