[olug] RE: Apache/SSI help

Fri May 10 00:00:55 UTC 2002

	I am sitting here trying to figure out how I am going to explain
this.  Imagine your self working on fixing a problem for over two days
straight.  Finally you break down and start looking for help. :)  We all
know what is coming next.

	Every once in a while I would  see an error in my logs about
symbolic links not allowed.  I checked on the net and found out you can
get that error if apache doesn't have permissions to your .htaccess
file.  I would mess with the .htaccess file and eventually the problem
would go away. At one time I had one .htaccess file and all of my
virtual domains linked to that.  When I started seeing the message that
was the first thing I changed.

	It never occurred to me that I couldn't have "THE WHOLE WEBSITE
DIRECTORY" on a different partition and just create a link to that
directory on a different partition.  Just don't tell anybody you seen my
head hitting the wall multiple times.

	Hopefully I will be the only one you ever hear of doing this
again and I apologize for the interruption with the )*&)T$^)^$ question
[and for the foul language :)].

	I was hoping to PLEASE get a little help from this group. I have
been kind of lurking for the past 5 years speaking up every once in a
while.  I know this isn't a linux specific question but I did say
please. :) 

Here is my situation.
	I am trying to setup and use Server Side Includes in Apache with
no luck.  Below is my configuration.  Thanks.
