Hi,

I'm having problems with trying to link a directory to an NFS mount to 

htdocs directory. I get a Forbidden: You don't have permission to access 

/calendar/ on this server.

The file is a in /usr/local/apache/htdocs and here is the ls -l of the 

link:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root    root           27 Nov 13 12:07 calendar -> 

/mnt/nucleus/share/calendar

Here is the file in /mnt/nucleus/share:
drwxrwxrwx  8   60001 nfsnobody      512 Dec  4 15:25 calendar

Is there reason why cannot access linked directories via NFS in apache?

Examine the directive Options AllowSymlinks (which speeds up your
server enormously anyways, and should always be considered for
root-controled file spaces.)
