Dear sysadmin
dear Mark


I use your Apache Server 1.2.3 on HP3000 with MPE/iX 5.5
Running a script hold.pl in cgi-bin directory works properly.
But the same script that is in a subdirectory of the cgi-bin/ named
requests, which is a symbolic link to elsewhere does not work. The
following error is reported:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/requests/hold.pl on this
server.

The error_log reports
[Tue Mar  3 09:32:58 1998] Server configured -- resuming normal
operations
[Tue Mar  3 09:33:13 1998] access to
/APACHE/PUB/htdocs/cgi-bin/requests/ failed
 for rr.sws.ch, reason: Symbolic link not allowed

What is wrong in my configuration file?
Thanks for helping.

Access.conf

# access.conf: Global access configuration
# Online docs at http://www.apache.org/

# This file defines server settings which affect which types of services
# are allowed, and in what circumstances. 

# Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with
respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories). 

# Originally by Rob McCool

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.

<Directory /APACHE/PUB/htdocs>

# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".

# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you (or at least, not yet).

# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options",
"FileInfo", 
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"

AllowOverride None

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

order allow,deny
allow from all

</Directory>

# /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin should be changed to whatever your
ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory /APACHE/PUB/htdocs/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

# Allow server status reports, with the URL of
http://servername/server-status
# Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.

# There have been reports of people trying to abuse an old bug from
pre-1.1
# days.  This bug involved a CGI script distributed as a part of Apache.
# By uncommenting these lines you can redirect these attacks to a
logging 
# script on phf.apache.org.  Or, you can record them yourself, using the
script
# support/phf_abuse_log.cgi.

#<Location /cgi-bin/phf*>
#deny from all
#ErrorDocument 403 http://phf.apache.org/phf_abuse_log.cgi
#</Location>

# You may place any other directories or locations you wish to have
# access information for after this one.
