I am trying to have Apache follow a symlink to a raid array server that will contain some large data files. I have tried modifying httpd.conf to have an entry like this
Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Allow from all
to have Apache follow any sym link in the Sites folder.
I keep getting an error return that seems to indicate I don't have any permissions to access the files. The error is: Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~imagine/imageLibraryTest/videoClips/imageLibraryVideos/imageLibraryVideos/Data13/0002RT-1.mov on this server.
the sys link file is the last "imageLibraryVideos" in the line with the Data13 being the sub dir on the server containing the file.
The 0002RT-1.mov file hase these permissions: -rwxrwxrwx 1 imagine staff 1138757 Sep 15 17:01 0002RT-1.mov and is in this path: cd /Volumes/ImagineProducts-1/Users/imagine/Sites/imageLibraryVideos/Data13
the link points to: lrwxr-xr-x 1 imagine staff 65 Sep 15 16:40 imageLibraryVideos -> /Volumes/ImagineProducts-1/Users/imagine/Sites/imageLibraryVideos
