FollowSymLinks into samba drive

Hi!

 

I have a collection of photos I would like displaying on a webpage. They are not in the documentroot - I am using FollowSymLinks and have a directory of symbolic links created by PHP's symlink function.

 

When the target of the symbolic links is physically on my server, everything works fine. But I really want the photos to reside on my samba fileserver - and to access this I have a mount point /mnt/samba/photos.

 

Unfortunately this does not work - no error messages in the log, just the broken link to an image symbol in a web browser.

 

So, is it against Apache 'rules' to FollowSymLinks to a remote samba fileshare? If not, is it just a permissions problem? I have opened up the samba directory and parent directory to chmod 777 and still no joy  :-[

 

Many thanks in anticipation.

Cheers

S
