Apache permissions

Subject: Apache permissions

Hi Folks.

Our application leverages Apache as an http file access mechanism.

Under Tiger we create a symbolic link to the root of the hard disc (eg MacHD) inside the Apache Document Root (/Library/WebServer), following which we can access files on the drive via

http://[ipaddr]/MacHD/myfolder/myfile

This all works so simply in Tiger, and Tiger Server.

Recentlt we have tried to set the same thing up in Leopard, but we are being consistently denied permission to access files and folders via this SymLink mechanism using the same technique as in Tiger. Trying to change permissions on the drive doesn't help.

Clearly something has changed in the permissions for Apache accessing files outside of the document root. I have ploughed through some of the apache config docs without luck and I wondered if anyone could tell me what changed in Leopard and how to fix it.

Any tips would be very welcome.

Cheers

Mark.
