Symbolic link not allowed in Apache2
I'm trying to get a site running Apache, but I am getting the following error:
AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/wg
The "wg" folder is indeed a symbolic link, as far as I can see the permissions are set correctly and the link is valid:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 33 Dec 8 22:36 wg -> /media/user/Web/www/wg
And this is how the website is set up:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.49:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/wg"
ServerName wg.local
<Directory "/var/www/wg">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Any idea what might be causing this permission error?
Edit:
strace gives me this:
[pid 8603] stat("/var/www/wg/", 0x7fff01b68010) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
But I don't understand why - "var" and "www" are drwxr-xr-x and wg drwxrwxrwx with owner and group www-data, so everything seems to be configured correctly.

I would assume that the permissions /media/user/Web/www/wg
are not set correctly, so the log is misleading. Or users /media/user/Web/www/wg
and /var/www/wg
are not the same, because you have installed -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
.
Another solution / question: why don't you install DocumentRoot
directly on /media/user/Web/www/wg
?
Best, M.
