So basically, I want to host a network smb share on my Redhat 6.2 Apache httpd server. My basic configuration is outlined below, however, I keep getting errors.
So my basic configuration
/mnt/ShareDocs -> network \\smb\share
/etc/fstab
//smb/shared /mnt/ShareDocs cifs defaults,wsize=65535,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,sec=ntlm,credentials=/root/.creds 0 0
Apache 2.2 (httpd.conf)
<Directory "/var/www/help">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /help /var/www/help
tail -f error_log gives me -> Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/help
So I take the symbolic link out of the equation, and go directly at the mount point. I change my directory to ...
<Directory "/mnt/ShareDocs"> ...
I then get a different error message that says..
[error] [client ip] (13)Permission denied: access to /help/Manual.pdf denied
Does anyone have any ideas?
