Accessing Apache sub directories
I have a /home/user/datasheets linked in the /srv/www/apache/htdocs. When I try to access this, it comes up 404 forbidden. Permissions are for read only for Others and users, but still cannot access it. Tried a few changes in the http.conf file, but had no success. Can anyone tell me how I can access this directory from a webbrowser for viewing only? Art

Have you tried "Options FollowSymLinks" for the directory in question? -Kastus
I tried that, but Apache would not restart. Guess I did not do it right. Have an example available? Art On Fri, 2005-01-28 at 16:18 -0800, Kastus wrote:

Actually, allowing apache to follow symlinks is not good from security point of view. Why don't you just create an alias? E.g. Alias /datasheets /home/user/datasheets -Kastus
