[users@httpd] Symbolic links not working.
Hi,
After scanning all other docs, I still cannot figure out how to do the
following:
(Apache 2.2.4 on a Suse 11.0 box)
I have a directory (in my server tree) with a web application.
I have several virtual host (about 20 at the moment), I want to have use
this directory (without that it's viewable from the URL by the
end-user). The php scripts there will solve the attachement to the right
user (via a MySQL DB).
So what I did was making a softlink from the virtual user directory to
the applications directory (both under htdocs)
But whatever I do, I get a 403 error (no access).
I have verified that all files are accessible, there are no typo's. I
tried to add a Directory blok in the httpd.conf file wich allows acces
for everybody and symbolic links, etc. etc.
Some ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Steven

Found it !!!!! ;-))))))
I had a "Options None" in the default-server.conf
Which is read after the statement you suggested.
It's maybe a good idea to review the structure of all those config
files, and make it les
easy to make a mistake like that !
Thanks a lot for your help.
I'll keep following this list, it's quit interesting stuff.
Thanks again,
Steven

Then apache needs to be told that it can follow symlinks
from /srv/www/htdocs. If you add this, does it work? What error message
if it doesn't work?
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs>
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Ok, so i tried that (the statement as below, but with my linked from
directory.
The result is the same : no dice.
To be perfectly clear :
I have this :
/srv/www/htdocs/sottovento
where sottovento is the root directory for my virtual domain and is a
link to
/srv/www/htdocs/la-france/gite
Where "gite" is a directory with all my php files (and of course
index.php)
All directories are 777, all files in gite are world readable.

The directory you link from is the important one. See Options FollowSymlinks:

I don't understand the question.
I have this in my httpd.conf file :
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/la-france/gite>
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Which is the directory i am linking to.

What does the error log say? If you get a 403 it will say why in the
error log.
