[cobalt-users] [RAQ3i] FollowSymLinks kills Server Side Includes

[Joerg Hueddersen <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

on my RAQ3i I run a site that needs certain users to have access to their 
web-directory without having an address with 'users' or '~' in it. So I 
inserted the following lines in the appropriate <VirtualHost>-sectio of 
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

<Directory /home/sites/site1/web>
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Then I made symbolic links from the main web-directory to the 
web-directories of the users. I restartet apache and from that time the 
Server Side Includes stopped working (but following the symbolic links 
worked). I also tried to add two lines:


<Directory /home/sites/site1/web>
Options FollowSymLinks
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType    text/html     .shtml
</Directory>

but without success. Has anyone an idea what I can do to reactivate SSI 
with the FollowSymLinks-option turned on?
