Apache does not show and does not follow SymLinks

Question

On Linux Fedora 15, Apache doesn't follow symlinks, and they did not show in directory index... Can you help me why?

Just to mention that in httpd.conf I do have :

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Also, User and Group defined in httpd.conf are owners of proper directories where is web application saved...

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!!!

UPDATE: is a problem occured because target is on the other hard drive?

UPDATE 2: it follows symbolic links, but this link for some reason is not followed. It points to the dir on other hard drive.

UPDATE 3: there is "nothing special" after first direction, ie:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Answer 1

If only this link is a problem, it makes me think the link is the problem and not the Apache config. Are you sure it is not broken or the target drive is not mounted properly? For a file on a seperate drive ls -l should show, for example:

-rw-r--r-- 1 user group size date time link_name -> /drive/mount/point/path/to/file/file_name

If it does not then you should remake the link using:

rm link_name
ln -s /drive/mount/point/path/to/file/file_name link_name

If the link is pointing to the right place, perhaps the target drive is not mounted. Remount it and try again. Best of luck!
