"Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible..."
Apache 2 refused to serve pages with that claim in the error_log (Suse 10.1). I had tried everything (permissions, ownership, etc.) - nothing worked. My httpd.conf piece looked really perfect:
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and no success. Then, I found the line in the httpd.conf:
Include /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
Yes, yes, that include file contained a configuration for the document root, and certainly overwrote my settings. So, if your settings look really good, and the symlink problem still exists - look for such an include.
The problem seems to be obvious - but search Google for it, and you may be surprised...
Headache gone after a solution in this blog? Then if you think... ;)

This could also be a security issue on redhat enterprise 4.
edit /etc/selinux/config
change to
SELINUX=permissive
you might have to restart the server.

Well, this end my pain to setup the bugzilla on SuSe 10.1
Thank You!
I'd been searching google for quite some time, but to no avail - this was a life saver. Sneaky includes undoing all my careful configuration...
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!!!! How many hours have I spent on this so far....
Wow, this helped me fix some problems I could never figure out, thanks a bunch!
