Apache + Passenger on OSX

I am using the default Apache install that comes with OSX and Passenger 3.0.6. Everything was working fine and then today I started getting the error:

[Fri May 27 09:00:58 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /Users/tom/sites

The directory is configured as:

<Directory “/Users/tom/sites/c1/public”>

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

I don’t believe it is a permissions error, I gave 777 permissions on the folder being logged just in case. Nothing has changed except for changing out gemsets. What could cause this message?

Thanks,

Tom

Just a guess: "sites" is not capitalized in your path and it is in OSX.

Thanks, I did try changing that with no joy. Anything else you can think of?

I figured out the problem. I was using a symbolic link for the sites folder that pointed to a location in my dropbox. For some reason Apache doesn’t like that anymore.
