✏️ Apache configuration for symlinks

‼️ “Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible"

📌 The script creates a symlink from your home directory to the server folder. Apache will throw the error “Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible" in /var/log/apache2/error_log if you do not to configure it properly as described bellow.

Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/default-server.conf:

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None

The settings need to be in <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">:

DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs"

#
# Configure the DocumentRoot
#
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        #Require all granted

$ sudo apache2ctl restart

🔒 If your home folder is encrypted

The symlinks will not work, so you need to work around that as described at this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39037942

$ sudo apt-get install lsyncd

Starting the background service

$ sudo lsyncd -rsync /home/<username>/nextcloud/ /var/www/html/nextcloud/

Additionally set the permissions on the lsynced files in /var/www

sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/data
sudo chown :www-data /var/www/config/
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/config/
sudo chown :www-data /var/www/apps/
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/apps/
