Apache 2.2 and symbolic links
I was doing some very basic stuff with my Apache 2.2 (which is running on my work SuSE 10.1 box): I was creating symbolic links for some folders.
Things were supposed to go smooth and fine but this didn't happen. Instead, Apache refused to follow the symbolic links! I quickly checked /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but everything was fine:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
I craweled Google for an hour but all posts told me I'm not missing anything.
I was making no head or tail, I restarted Apache, changed the sumbolic links, added Apache to some groups, etc. But in vain.
I finally happened to find that I am supposed to do this in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf!
I hope this helps someone.
