This is a bug -- the actual error should be 403 forbidden, but
Quicktime player reports Couldn't open the file "sample_300kbit.mov"
because it is not a file that QuickTime understands."
I had to apply 777 permissions to the symlinked directories to get this
to work, even though qtss had group read/write access. Does it need x
also (I didn't try 770)?.
Then, I re-enabled by qtaccess file, and started getting the same
problem -- had to give 777 to the .qtpassword file which was
referenced in qtaccess.
Any, I had problems with both QT player and Safari until I did this.
So there are two issues:
1. Why a privileges error -- does DSS need execute also, or does it
need anonymous access also?
2. Why do I get an error about file type when there's permissions
error -- Is this a bug in DSS (reporting the wrong code) or an error in
QTPlayer (interpreting the code incorrectly).
Also,
1. Is this the right list for these issues?
2. Does anyone know how logging is configured. I changed the logging
level from 2 to 5 (SWAG), but got no more info.

I have two identical(?) Redhat 9 servers -- dev and prod. Both are
configured to stream on port 80.
dev works just fine, and streams ok.
prod will stream the sample files from usr/local/movies, but not out
of symlinked directories.
I've spent the whole day checking and verifying the symlinks, and I'm
baffled. I keep getting the message:
"Couldn't open the file "sample_300kbit.mov" because it is not a file
that QuickTime understands."
I've also copied the sample file into the symlinked directory to be
sure the file is not corrupted.
Any clues?
How does one turn on verbose logging so I can see what the server
thinks the problem is?
