[cobalt-users] RAQ2 - symbolic links problem

[David Liu <dyliu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all-

here's the dilemma-

i am trying to give a user access to publishing their website to their 
virtual domain by symbolic linking their user directory to the 
virtualdomain directory.

i.e.

i'm bob with a virtualdomain bobcool.com

bob's user directory is located in "/home/sites/www.bobcool.com/users/bob/"
bob's web directory is located in 
"/home/sites/www.bobcool.com/users/bob/web/" which means that if i go to 
"www.bobcool.com/~bob" i'll see the stuff the website.

what i want is to allow bob to put his stuff in his web directory so that 
it can be accessed at "www.bobcool.com"

so, i first off went to "/etc/httpd/conf/access.conf" and replaced the line:

"Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes"

with:

"Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes"

and restarted the server..

i then did the following:

"ln -s /home/sites/www.bobcool.com/users/bob/web/ 
/home/sites/www.bocool.com/" from "admin" not "bob".

the link was created..

but when i then go back to see if the stuff at "www.bobcool.com/~bob" is 
also at "www.bobcool.com" it didn't work and i get the following error in 
the error.conf file:

"Symbolic link not allowed: /home/sites/site4/web/"


what's going on here??? how do i do this correctly?!?! thanks!
