 |

I am running CentOS 6.3, Apache 2.2.15.
Document root is /var/www/html
virtual servers ar in subdirs "15", "16".
I have an index.html in each dir to verify were I am.
FollowSymLinks is enabled.
I have a 2nd HDD mounted at /media/hdd2 with a directory "data" with a index.html in it. In "/var/www/html/16" I have a symlink "sixteen" ther in a folder "dataa" pointing at "/media/hdd2/data". "/media" and "media/hdd2" is root owned and 40777. all below is apache ownd, files are 10777.
in the doc root everythink (including the link is apache owned. I guess I must be missing something. It does not work...
With [server-ip]/somepage.html it works. But when I comeacross the link ... nothing. /"data/index.html" should work but nothing.
Error message: 403 Forbidden, "no permission".
I have a few days now and running out of ideas.
Maybe anyone can help.
Thanks,
Andreasw. |

Hi Andreasw,
you have also to allow the access inside apache, as you did for the document root. Since the path in only a virtual one the permission from /var/www/html will not be inherited to those folder.
Add something like
| Code: |
<Directory "/media/hdd2/data">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Thanks, here it is:
<Directory "/media/hdd2/data">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
This is the dir in the root
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 apache apache 19 Oct 9 20:40 sechzehn -> /media/hdd2/data/16
And this is the media/hdd2/data
drwxrwxrwx. 2 apache apache 4096 Oct 9 20:41 16
and this is below:
[root@cloud 16]# ls -l
total 4
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 apache apache 63 Oct 8 22:14 index.html
Thank you for any idea ...

I'm a bit stuck now. But what I would try is to add an Alias instead of the symlink.
| Code: |
Alias /15 /media/hdd2/data/15
<Directory "/media/hdd2/data/15">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /16 /media/hdd2/data/16
<Directory "/media/hdd2/data/16">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
