How to get Apache to follow symlink instead of downloading it?
- by user792445
I am just using the standard apache config file which mentions that it follows symlinks, but when I hit the url http://localhost/test it downloads the symlink file instead of following it. What config do I need to change to get apache to follow the symlink instead of downloading it?
This is an ls on the directory:
$ ls -al
total 10
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Oct 20 10:55 .
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Aug 26 12:27 ..
-rw-r--r--+ 1 me None 47 Oct 20 10:14 index.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me None 29 Oct 19 17:10 test -> /home/me/projects/test
This is in my apache config file:
<Directory "D:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
