Directory Listing with SSL

[JonnyFlash]

Hello,

i´m using a apache 1.3.31 with ssl on a gentoo system. The HTTP and HTTPS are located in different DocumentRoot directorys.
HTTP = /htdocs/htdocs/
HTTPS = /htdocs/ssldocs/
In both sections i can do a directory listing of an empty folder in my webbrowser. If i make a link in my HTTPS section from a folder outside of the DocumentRoot (/var or /home) so i get a "Forbidden" when i try to enter this folder in my browser. For the directory listing function in my SSL-section i had add following code in my httpd.conf:

Code:
<Directory /htdocs/ssldocs>
Options Indexes MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Can anybody tell me why it is "FORBIDDEN" ?? The same thing in my HTTP-section works fine.

Greetings

Hi,

I have had a verry similar problem a feew months ago (I'll never forget).
After on day(maybe more) of reading/testing, I have found the problem:
- if the owner of the link is not the same user with the owner of the directory/file on which the link points, I have receive the `Forbiden...'

Maybe you have the same problem.

In that case, you should check your:
<Directory / >

# Look for
# Order ...
# Allow from ...
# Deny
# settings

</Directorty>

Probable you(your server) dont have acces to those folders.

OK

That was my mistake - i have forgotten the "FollowSymLinks" Option - you can see above in the codelisting.
Sorry and
Thank You
