Re: [users@httpd] Proper configuration of FollowSymLinks in 2.0.54

[Forrest Aldrich <forrie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay here's what happened.

My config:

User www
Group www
ServerName forrie.com
DocumentRoot /home/test
Listen *:8091

<Directory />
Options All
</Directory>

ErrorLog        /var/log/httpd-error.log

If I do a "ln -s /usr/local/shares/forrie/files ." into the above DocumentRoot, I get the proper symlink:

files -> /usr/local/shares/forrie/files

And I get this error:

[Fri Sep 09 13:49:33 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.99] Symbolic link not allowed: /hom
e/test/files

BUT...

If I create a file "test2" in the ".." directory, containing "foo", then "ln -s /home/test2 ." which gives me:

test2 -> /home/test2

I can get to it via the browser.

Now I'm suspicious of a filesystem item with FreeBSD-6.0 -- the symblic link to "files" is on the second hard drive, whereas the first is on the same disk.

Other than that possibility, I'm at a loss here.


Thanks.

Oops.  That's obviously not exactly what I did, since it creates a
broken symlink.  More like
ln -s ../test2/index.txt test/symlink
