Hi,
At the start of last week, the old webserver went belly up. I've now installed a new server, copied over the httpd.conf file and changed the bits I need to change, but there is now a problem
It won't follow symlinks!
On the old system (self compiled version of httpd, 2.0.48), I would have a symlink in /var/www/html/reelnorth pointing to /web/reelnorth and httpd would follow the symlink and all was happy.
Now it won't allow me to use symlinks at all.
I have in the config file the following
(snip)
# # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "/var/www/html">
# # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI Multiviews XBitHack On # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None
# # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all
</Directory>
Try adding:
<Directory "/web">
Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI Multiviews
XBitHack On
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>and see if that helps.
Paul.
