This is not easy to figure out when you don't have your own server

Lucy, this is not easy to figure out even when you do have your own server:)

For example, here's -- wait for it --

GOTCHA #4: SymLinks

I've got a score-plus of same-level post storage directories with very limited access.

In Apache 1.3, I created an "htaccess_MASTER" file one level up and symlinked each storage dir's .htaccess to the plain-text master. Nifty and quick; change the master and all dirs' files keep pace.

In 2.2, the symlinked per-dir .htaccess files don't work. The paths are correct, ditto user/group and permissions but the files do nothing. This is not good.

So is the prob that no one can symlink to .htccess files anymore? OR (more likely) am I running afoul of the same conf-related problem as the still not working Includes and ExecCGI problems mentioned above?

(And/or am I just talking to myself here?... Anyone? Anyone?... Bueller?)
