With my test sym link directory htd, added this to the default-server.conf --- # Make sure that symlink /srv/www does not make problems <Directory /srv/www> Options +FollowSymlinks </Directory> --- and now the browser displays ‘It Works!’

So why does the directory of one above need to be in the conf?

Because 'htd' is within '/srv/www' and because default configuration is NOT to follow symlinks, then 'htd' is not accessible. By setting the parent path '/srv/www' with FollowSymlinks, then 'htd' is reachable. This is clearly stated in the documentation: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#directory

Enclose a group of directives that apply only to the named file-system directory, sub-directories, and their contents.

I'm closing this one as invalid, but feel free to reopen if you find any other issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
