[users@httpd] Symbolic link not allowed
apache 1.3.19 installed on two servers.
all logs go into user's root directory /home/JoeSchmoe/.logs
we run web stats analyzer against their logs and put into
/home/JoeSchmoe/.stats/JoeDomain.com
their DocumentRoot is /home/JoeSchmoe/JoeDomain
we wish to give them access to view the web stats online
on one server we simply symlink /home/JoeSchmoe/JoeDomain/webstats to
/home/JoeSchmoe/.stats/JoeDomain.com and it works like a charm
on the other server we get Forbidden error, and checking the log files "Symbolic
link not allowed"
what I don't understand is all this logging, stats, and linking is performed by
a priveledged user, with all the group ownerships set to JoeSchmoe's private
group on both servers. Changing the ownership of the files and links to nobody
(web user) doesn't help matters. At a loss only because the servers are
virtually identical other than that and a 8 month build time seperation.
Any insight or suggestions would be apprecaited.

have that set at the server conf level, but inadvertantly overrode it in the
virtual host container with an "Options ExecCGI" rather than using "Options
+ExecCGI"
Couldn't see the forest for the trees...
thanks.

How about the options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch and FollowSymLinks?
e.g.
Options -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +FollowSymLinks
