RE: Advice please: Apache doesn't seem to resolve Tomcat symbolic links

[Sarah Grimley <sa...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi John,

I hope this is what you mean:

apache access_log:

170.237.230.231 - - 2002-12-09 17:55:53 0 "GET /seqreq/icons/seqwright.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 758
170.237.230.231 - - 2002-12-09 17:55:53 0 "GET /seqreq/icons/info9.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 746
170.237.230.231 - - 2002-12-09 17:55:53 0 "GET /seqreq/icons/w2_reset.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 755
170.237.230.231 - - 2002-12-09 17:55:53 0 "GET /seqreq/icons/w2_submit.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 758

These are the errors you get if its not working as well as when the
files not there...

Sym links dont work in 4.1.12..

You need version 4.1.14 and something like the following:

<Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allo
wLinking="true" docBase="/" absoluteBase="/"  caseSensitive="false"/>

Or if you have 4.1.16 or newer you can loose the caseSensitive="false"
bit.
