FollowSymLinks not possible

[tajt02]

Hello,

SymLinks are not possible in standard.

I've opened Webserver settings and put into the fields "Additional directives for HTTP(S)" the following code:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Does not work.

Then:

Options +FollowSymLinks

Does not work.

The settings were saved in the vhost.conf file, this file is included in the httpd.conf. I have manually restarted the httpd service, but no change. I cannot access my Symlink (403 forbidden).

BUT, whats really misleading: When I create a .htaccess and put "Options +FollowSymLinks" in it, it works!

Why I cannot enable it with these webserver options I made in /smb/web/web-server-settings/ -> Additional Apache directives ?

Thanks.

I think this problem is addressed in the following KB - http://kb.odin.com/127

Ok, with

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/xxx.com/httpdocs>
        Options +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

it works... Who should know that. I'm in the (webserver-) settings of a special domain and need to specify its var www ... path for this setting...
