[users@httpd] apache2 vhst problem -- Symbolic link not allowed
Hello list,
I have a typical problem in my apache2 server running on opensuse 11
server. I like to add the Followsymlinks option in vhost. Previously I
put the setting in .htaccess and it was running fine. But to get the
performance benefit I move the settings in the vhost configuration.
To enable symlinks I put
`````````````````````
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/muydomain.com/">
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
# .htaccess slows down apache; only use it when required #
AllowOverride All
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
```````````````````````````````````
I have restarted apache but still I can't access the site. log reports
``````````````
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible
``````````````````
Though everything runs well if I put the symlinks option in .htaccess
Any clue ?
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your response. I have changed the .htaccess part as
``````````````
# .htaccess slows down apache; only use it when required #
AllowOverride All
#Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
```````````````````
and now no problem with symlinks. Hope it does not effect .htaccess
thanks

You're setting Options twice for that directory, the first time removing
Indexes and adding FollowSymLinks, and the second removing all options.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
