How do I symlink httpsdocs to httpdocs?

[dennis00]

I have already symlinked httpsdocs to httpdocs, but it keeps giving errors.

I have tried setting openbase_dir to none and httpdocs:httpsdocs:/tmp, but it doesn't help.

can you do php -f /home/httpd/vhosts/villa.nl/httpsdocs/catalog/admin/index.php from the command line ?

Also, does the domain have Options FollowSymLinks set in vhost.conf ? if not, you should probably try adding it inside a directory node.

Yes, perfectly possible. No errors shown.

I already have a .htaccess "Options +FollowSymLinks" in /httpdocs/ and I've already tried adding this in vhost.conf. Unfortunately all https://-pages still return 403-errors. I tried making all sorts of changes to vhost.conf, but it doesn't help much (no, I didn't forget websrvmng).

Something that I found strange was, that the symlink was owned by root.root and could not be rechowned. Is this normal?
I also tried adding /home/httpd/vhosts/villa.nl/httpsdocs in openbase_dir, but that didn't help much either.

I think you have to put the options into the vhost.conf in a directory clause

<directory /dir/goes/here>
options line
</directory>

if the symlink is 777 (rwxrwxrwx) then it shouldnt matter who the owner is.

isn't it easier to use the "Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content" option in Plesk?

 

[Amin Taheri]

it would definately be easier to do that yes, but it would be nice to have this symlink so that then you never need to worry about it

God damnit, I didn't knew that option. It's perfect for me.
