Topic: Symlink activation

[medom]

Hi everyone

I'm trying to install Typo3 (CMS) om my SME server. This installation is involving symlinks. I'm now having trouble, getting them to work, when they are used in accessing my website.

I've searched the forum, and found others with the same problems, and I've tried to solve the problem with the solutions I've found, but without luck:

My ibayname is "typo3"

Code:

db accounts setprop typo3 FollowSymLinks enabled
db accounts setprop typo3 AllowOverride All
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/init.d/httpd graceful
signal-event typo3-modify ibayname

Even though I still get the:

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /typo3/dummy-4.1.3/typo3/install/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
"

Where did I go wrong?

Why not install with the rpm shown here: http://wiki.contribs.org/Typo3?  (You'll need to delete the 'typo3' ibay you have already created before installing)

Did you check your log files? Have a look in /var/log/httpd/error_log around the time the error occured. What does it say?

Perhaps you are running into the OpenBaseDir restriction, see this wiki page on how to resolve your issue.

MMCCARN>> Don't tell me I've spend 2 days configuring this, when all i needed was a RPM  I'll use this as a worst case.

Here's a post I did a while ago on where you can make symlinks and expect your ibay to work:
