apache problem

>> SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

 I didn't notice this at the InstallFest. It probably means that symlinks
will only work if they're owned by the web user and/or web group. On Fedora
this is user "apache" and group "apache".

Try changing "SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" to "FollowSymLinks", to test this
hypothesis.
