Access public_html through jailed Apache server

[aznluvsmc]

Hi,

I would like to access my /home/username/public_html directory from my jailed apache server. Right now it can't access my home directory since it's not in the jail. I don't really want to move the directory into the jail and have two copies so I was thinking about using a link. Does anyone know what changes I need to make to the httpd.conf file for it to follow a link to go outside it's jail or if it's even possible?

Is this what you want?

Alias /mypublic/ "/home/username/public_html/"
<Directory "/home/username/public_html">
   Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

then access it by typing

http://www.mypage.com/mypublic

No, that wouldn't work because the server is jailed. I ended up recreating the home directory inside the jail. Thanks anyways.
