Yes, it is and I can read that file.  The files that I can not access
are in:
server/admin/index.html

Yes, I'll change that.  I just use it temporarily as I run out of ideas
to try :-/

Yes

Thank you for the pointer.  I just change this directive in apache.conf
for /var/www/  and restarted apache but there is no difference.  I still
can not access /server/admin/ directory from apache.  server =
/var/www/html/catalog/

This is from apache.conf

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

I just search all server .htaccess files for "AllowOverride" but none is
active in these files.
grep -Rnw '/var/www/html/catalog/' -e 'AllowOverride'
