[users@httpd] Symbolic links under Apache 2.0.54

[Forrest Aldrich]

I recently ran into this problem: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28515 The bug report is from 2004... but it still appears to exist. To test this, I did: <Directory "/path/to/files">     Options FollowSymlinks Indexes     AllowOverride AuthConfig </Directory> In /usr/local/www/data: ln -s /path/to/files . And I go to the browser: http://mysite.com/files which generates this error: You don't have permission to access /mp3 on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I also tried tweaking SymlinksIfOwnerMatch, etc.  I verified that the permissions are okay (as far as I can tell). Note the ErrorDocument problem - I've not even changed any of those and I have no ErrorDocument directives in my configuration. Thanks, Forrest
