Gave it a try, made no difference. As I understand it, the
FollowSymLinks option is only required at the location of the symlink
itself and not it's target, right?
Thanks,

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mod_userdir and FollowSymLinks frustration
I am having trouble getting my user's web directories to behave the
FollowSymLinks option. I know I must be making a stupid mistake here but I have
spent way too much time trying to track down the problem.
I'm using Apache 2.0.54 on Gentoo, and have taken the issue down a very basic
config which illustrates the problem:
# cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
User apache
Group apache
Listen 80
PidFile "/var/run/apache2.pid"
LogLevel Debug
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/test.log
LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so LoadModule dir_module
modules/mod_dir.so DirectoryIndex index.html <Directory
/home/avarice/public_html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
# ls -l /home/avarice/public_html/
-rw-r--r-- 1 avarice users 12 Jun 18 2001 index.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Aug 4 15:22 richhorner ->
/var/www/richhorner.com/htdocs/
# ls -ld /var/www/richhorner.com/htdocs/ drwxr-xr-x 13 avarice users 624 Aug
3 14:27 /var/www/richhorner.com/htdocs/
Now, when I visit http://myserver/~avarice I get the (unparsed) contents
of index.html, as expected. If I remove the "Indexes" option from my
config I no longer get the index.html file contents by default, again as
expected (just to make sure that Options line was getting used).
However, when I try to access http://myserver/~avarice/richhorner I get
an access denied error:
# cat /var/log/apache2/test.log

I have tried and tried, but cannot get this to work. I successfully use
FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnerMatch elsewhere in my full
configuration, but when it comes to mod_userdir I'm having trouble.
Thanks,
