>Number: 2657 >Category: mod_include >Synopsis: FollowSymLinks not allowed in DirectoryMatch directive >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Tue Jul 21 17:20:02 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3.0 >Environment: Sparc Solaris 2.5.1 using gcc. (I'm guessing more detail here will not further identify the problem) >Description: The documentation indicates the FollowSymLinks option can be used with <Directory> but not with <Location>. This would suggest to me that it should work with <DirectoryMatch> and not <LocationMatch> It does not, in fact, work in either. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to add FollowSymLinks to the Options list inside a DirectoryMatch. >Fix: Allow this option inside a DirectoryMatch, or update the documentation to reflect this behavior. I prefer the first option, as I believe others would too, or the requirement of FollowSymLinks in a directory would severely hamper the usefulness of the DirectoryMatch directive. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
