Hi, In the documentation [1] I read To enable the rewrite engine in this context, you need to set "RewriteEngine On" and "Options FollowSymLinks" must be enabled. If your administrator has disabled override of FollowSymLinks for a user's directory, then you cannot use the rewrite engine. This restriction is required for security reasons. I wonder what are those security reasons. FollowSymlinks is necessary even if no symlinks are involved, isnt it? What could happen if FollowSymlinks where not necessary?
