Hi z, my vhost document root is /var/www/virtual. I have also set my configuration with: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
I did not get any error. I simply did not see the soft links when I tried to access my server on the web. ________________________________ From: zxq9 <[email protected]> To: Mike <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:08 PM Subject: Re: soft link for web vhost On 04/03/2012 11:52 PM, Mike wrote: > Hi, > I follow this discussion http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/creating-soft-link-or- > symbolic-link/ and able to create a softlink in my Directory, but it did not > appear on my web browser. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this, because we don't know if your vhost document root is within /var/www or not (this can make a difference based on SELinux settings). If that is the case, you need to give an Options directive to Apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf like this: <Directory "/path/to/vhost/document/root"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory> Put that in your VirtualServer settings. The "Indexes" one means "show index listings of directories that do not have an 'index.html' or (other key file) in them" and the "FollowSymLinks" says to treat symbolic filesystem links as real links. Hope this makes sense. -z
