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

I've never used the + before, but now that I look it up, it looks good. But I would try it without once to see if it had an impact.
I would also put the Directory directive outside the VirtualHost directive, but it might not make a difference. 
<Directory /home/sites/site1/web/webhosting>
 Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
<VirtualHost 216.206.133.54>
 ServerName webhosting.manitu.net
 ServerAlias www.webhosting.manitu.net
 DocumentRoot /home/sites/site1/web/webhosting
</VirtualHost>
Also make sure that there isn't an .htaccess file in /home/sites/site1/web/webhosting. The .htaccess file will override a Directory directive. 

This is also worth a read: <http://www.apache.org/docs/sections.html>

One trial was the following:

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

the other was

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

None of them worked.

David. Thank you very much for your affords to help me.
