http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28492 Apache does not like symbolic links pointing to directories in "Include" statements Summary: Apache does not like symbolic links pointing to directories in "Include" statements Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.48 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When including a directory of configuration files, the reference must not contain a symbolic link. I e.g. have the following case: /mnt/disk0/www.server1/<lots of virtual servers>.conf /mnt/disk0/www.server2/<lots of virtual servers>.conf /virtual/www.server1 --- symbolic link --> /mnt/disk0/www.server1/ /virtual/www.server2 --- symbolic link --> /mnt/disk0/www.server2/ If I put Include /mnt/disk0/www.server1/*.conf into httpd.conf, it works. If I put Include /virtual/www.server1/*.conf into httpd.conf, it works not. In the strace of the httpd process, it is visible that apache tests, whether the /virtual/www.server1 reference is a directory but gets an error and halts. Apache should test, whether an include reference is a symbolic link and if yes, test its target to be a directory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
