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.
