I'm using the default access.conf file (just copied from access.conf.default). In the /usr/local/www/data directory, I created the data symbolic link: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Jul 1 11:08 data -> /usr/local/share/doc/apache lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Jun 22 09:20 data.default -> /usr/local/share/doc/apache In the /usr/local/share/doc/apache directory: -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2326 Jul 3 1996 apache_pb.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 1622 May 20 1998 index.html drwxr-xr-x 6 root staff 1024 Jun 22 09:20 manual lrwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 27 Jul 1 10:18 mydocs -> /home/kuuse/Desktop/mydocs/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 512 Jul 1 11:04 mytry I created the symbolic link mydocs ("Forbidden You don't have permission to access /mydocs on this server.") and the subdirectory mytry The subdirectory access (httpd://localhost/mytry) works fine, but the symbolic link (http://localhost/mydocs) doesn't. Anyone knows why? Please send a copy to me, as I'm currently not on the list. Thanks in advance! /Juan Kuuse Here follows an extract of the access.conf file: # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes", # "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews". # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you.
