when starting Apache on a machine where DocumentRoot is a symbolic link it's looking for the .htaccess file in /home/ i.e. with an empty username Error message in error_log is [Wed Feb 23 23:10:52 2000] [crit] [client 134.171.26.21] (13)Permission denied: /home/.esoacc pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable When I change DocumentRoot to a plain directory the server starts up fine. BTW: the same behaviour shows up when an "Alias" directive points to a symbolically linked directory We're not running NIS on the machine cheers><michael >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >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 make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
