Re: [cobalt-users] Using symbolic links in DocumentRoot directive

Where are you adding the FollowSymLinks directive? Send that part along. I have a feeling that you placed that on an Options line in a Directory context that is either the wrong one or is getting overwritten somewhere later in the file.

One virtual host defined in a file included into httpd.conf looks like this:

    <VirtualHost 216.206.133.54>
    ServerName webhosting.manitu.net
    ServerAlias www.webhosting.manitu.net
    DocumentRoot /home/sites/site1/web/webhosting
    </VirtualHost>

When replacing "site1" by "www.manitu.net" (the site's name) then accessing
the domain webhosting.manitu.net leads into an error "you don't have
permission to access...".

Even adding a FollowSymLinks directive does not help.
