Viewing manual gives 404 error

I tried to find an answer for this issue and did not find a complete solution, but here is what is causing the problem if you a are experiencing this.
The default apache installation, at least on Centos, places a config in /etc/httpd/conf.d/manual.conf that overrides the link to /manual and redirects it to /var/www/manuals.
Removing this config or changing this line in the config,
AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ "/var/www/manual$1"
to something like
AliasMatch ^/localmanual(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ "/var/www/manual$1"
will solve the problem.
