[users@httpd] apache problem with soft link
Using Fedora Core 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 and apache httpd-2.0.54-10.3
I have a web site in which there are soft links from directories
containing http files to directories containing jpg files. These
links are all constructed using a simple installation script, and
there are many such links.
They all work except the last one that I added. The jpg file is
properly displayed if I move it to the http directory, but not
through the link.
The appropriate directories all have SymLinksIfOwnerMatch (and all
owners match). In my debugging effort I tried FollowSymLinks.
In case "the last link" made might be the problem, changed the order
by changing the first letter of the directory in question to upper
case (they are usually lower case). It made no difference.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Mike.

It's strange that there is no error on httpd's log: if you can't see the
image, it means that httpd can not find the file where it searches for it
and you should see a "File does not not exist" error, or something like
that
Are you sure you have not some rewrite rules somewhere acting on the
string "ad_...."?

A good suggestion. The httpd logs show correct delivery,
including an exactly correct file length, despite failure.
This suggested that the problem might be on the receiving
end. The failure is seen two two boxes of different
hardware, but with similar win2k systems. I did test it
with firefox on the server box using file:///... and it
works correctly. I don't have another linux box I can
test it with.
The strangest thing is that the problem is critically
dependent on the soft link name. I have tried numerous
combinations, and can make no sense of it. For example:
These fail:
<img src="Ad_land_small_1/01590004FS.jpg">
<img src="ad_land_small_1/01590004FS.jpg">
Thess work:
<img src="Bd_land_small_1/01590004FS.jpg">
<img src="adddd_land_small_1/01590004FS.jpg">
In all cases, the correct links are in place.
You can see where my work-around is comming from.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.

Did you have at look at on your httpd's log? Could give more details
regarding your set-up, like the relevante httpd.conf lines, path of your
pictures directories, ...
