Apache cannot handle NTFS mounted volumes

           Summary: Apache cannot handle NTFS mounted volumes
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.35
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sam@netcity.co.uk


For testing, I have an alias called /C that points to "C:\Documents and Settings\". I keep my 
profile directory on a separate disk that is mounted under "C:\Documents and Settings\Sam". 
However, the Sam\ folder does not appear in Apache's directory listing. Additionally, while the 
directory listing is being generated, this appears in the error.log:

[Fri Apr 12 14:33:05 
2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] symlink doesn't point to a file or directory: C:/Documents and 
Settings/Sam

Asking for anything under "http://localhost/C/Documents and 
Settings/Sam" manually throws a 403 back to the client, with the same error in the event 
log.

If I remove the "FollowSymLinks" option for the directory then the error message is 
instead:

[Fri Apr 12 14:41:29 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed: 
C:/Documents and Settings/Sam

and a 403 is still returned to the browser.
