I'm on a CentOS 5.5 box trying to point the public_html directory to the latest app release. Symlinks are turned on and working okay in Apache. Here's an example of the issue:

symlink_foo => dir_baz

If dir_baz has an index.html file, it renders fine in the browser. If dir_baz has index.php, I get a 500 error. Both filetypes are set as index files.

suPHP and suExec are enabled.

This seems to be the same issue as this: Apache 500 Error When Using Symlinks, which was not solved.

Thanks!

Post the relevant lines from your error log, 500 error could be anything from bad permissions to the script having an error. – sam May 17 '11 at 2:45
Thanks @samarudge.This was due to suPHP - symbolic links always have permissions of 777 and suPHP strictly enforces 755 on directories (and 644 for files). I switched PHP handlers to FastCGI and everything works. – Judd May 17 '11 at 3:06
