I have the FollowSymLink directive present in the httpd.conf <Directory> section for my docroot directory, as well as in the <Directory /> section. I know that at least some changes to the config file are working: I've toggled the Indexes option on and off and see the expected behavior. I've also tried enabling this via .htaccess files by allowing Options overrides and building .htaccess files in the directory. Again, similar behavior: changing the Indexes setting in the local file results in file listings displayed or denied, but changing FollowSymLinks has absolutely no effect.
Is there a global "security" setting that I'm missing somewhere? One clue which makes me ask this is that an identical Apache configuration seems to work fine on 2.0.54 under FC4. Google shows lots of basic references to the Option in the httpd.conf, but I have pretty much convinced myself I have it set up correctly. I also searched the mail archives and haven't seen "sym" discussed in the titles of any of the archives over the past year (BTW, is all of March 2007 missing?), so clearly I'm the only one confused out here. Hate to ask, but I'm not finding anything in my searches.
Thanks in advance for any pointers or tips, Brent --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
