Re: Override a File to Same Name in Another Directory

[Marat Khalili <mkh@xxxxxx>]

If you want client requests to http://your.site/config.php be served by 
./parent/config.php , then the answer is yes -- I'd start with 
mod_rewrite for instance. If config.php is invoked by PHP, not by 
Apache, then you cannot fix it using Apache features -- you really need 
to change that symbolic link or PHP configuration or something in the 
system. Actual analogue of OVRDBF as I understand it in Linux is 
OverlayFS, but it's overkill for your task.
