Hello Apache Users,
I'm using Apache 2.0.55
I'm trying to have apache follow a symlink that is outside of the
documentroot tree.
The requests would look like http://servername/aliastodirectory/subdirectory
So, I have an alias pointing to the directory:
Alias /aliastodirectory/ /path/to/directory
And then I was trying to use a Directory directive to allow the symlink:
<Directory /path/to/directory>
Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
But I'm still getting a Symlink not allowed error when I try to access
the subdirectory, which is a symlink. One caveat to this is that the
directory which the subdirectory points to is also a symlink. So the
symlinks look like this:
/path/to/directory/subdirectory -> /path/to/anotherdirectory/subdirectory
/path/to/anotherdirectory/subdirectory -> /path/to/finaldirectory/subdirectory
Is my problem due to the fact that there are two levels of symlinks?
And if so, is there a way around that?
Thanks,
Kristina
