Lampp -symbolic Links Give 403

November 28th, 2009

I installed the ‘Automatic stores generation’ extension for the Multi-Stores add-on of OsCommerce. http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1730

Everything seems to work fine, except.. the copied stores are giving this 403 error with every filename:

“Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /new-store-dir/ on this server.”

The filenames are soft links to the ‘master store’ “minimal”.

Adding ‘Options +FollowSymLinks’ to .htaccess had no effect. The server owners said they had this option enabled as well.

So maybe I’m missing an obvious thing, I’m not an expert in this field.

Please only apply if you have experience with these kinds of things, I can’t use too much experimentation. In a pm, let me know why I should let you do this.
