The server will follow symbolic links in this directory. This is
the default setting.
<note>
+ <p>Disabling this option also prevents
+ <module>mod_rewrite</module> from operating in per-directory
+ context (<code>.htaccess</code> files and <directive type="section"
+ module="core">Directory</directive> sections).</p>
<p>Even though the server follows the symlink it does <em>not</em>
change the pathname used to match against <directive type="section"
module="core">Directory</directive> sections.</p>
