[Pagekit-users] Symbolic link not allowed

[Collin S. <col...@co...>]

I finally got my site running again with the latest Apache2 and 
mod_perl2, but it's not pretty.  The issue concerns a symlink I have from

  /app/apache2/site/www.collinstarkweather.com/pagekit -> 
/home/olsonco/site/www.collinstarkweather.com/pagekit

I've used PageKit with the site for many years, and suddenly I am 
getting errors of the form

   Symbolic link not allowed: 
/app/apache2/site/www.collinstarkweather.com/pagekit

I moved the directory in question from /home/olsonco to /app/apache2, 
which eliminates the symlink, but my /home partition is large and my 
/app partition is small.  Not a good long-term solution.

As I've had the site running with the symlink for many moons, I am at a 
bit of a loss.  Has something changed with Apache or mod_perl recently?

My Apache configuration is given below my sig.  If this rings a bell for 
anyone, any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Collin
