Ok, it works with Virtuals, as everyone said. Could not get it to work with the DocumentRoot for the entire server, no matter what I tried. Kept getting "You don't have permissions to access / on this machine" or something.
I assumed (yes, I know what that makes me) the reason for not allowing symlinks was a security issue. Now, I'm rethinking that. So, I guess I have no arguments against it. Thanks for all the help. My devel box is now doing exactly what I wanted it to do. Rod > Rod Rodolico wrote: > >>Been playing with this for a little while.
