Couple of thoughts:<br><br>There might be something later in your httpd.conf file that overwrites your options:<br><a href="http://zsoltech.blogspot.com/2006/07/symbolic-link-not-allowed-or-link.html">http://zsoltech.blogspot.com/2006/07/symbolic-link-not-allowed-or-link.html</a><br>
<br>Did you check the permissions of the directories and links, and made sure they are readable by the apache user? <br><br>I have not used base_url, but otherwise, your configuration looks a lot like mine, which is working fine. <br>

I have followed aforementioned steps in order to get multisite subdomain<br>
install<br>
<br>
1)Install drupal in web server directory i.e. /var/www/html/drupal (this<br>
is the main drupal install). The server name is <a href="http://abc.com" target="_blank">abc.com</a><br>
<br>
2) For multisite subdirectory install I have created site1 folder under<br>
/var/www/html/drupal/sites/abc.com.drupal.sites1<br>
<br>
Copied the default.settings.php into<br>
/var/www/html/drupal/sites/drupal.sites1/settings.php<br>
<br>
modified db_url to<br>
$db_url='pgsql://my_db_username:my_db_password@localhost/my_site1_dbname';<br>
<br>
modified base_url to<br>
$base_url="<a href="http://abc.com/drupal/site1" target="_blank">http://abc.com/drupal/site1</a>"<br>
<br>
created a symlink in drupal installation dir i.e.<br>
ln -s /var/www/html/drupal /var/www/html/drupal/site1<br>
<br>
Also I have Options +FollowSymLinks within the .htacess file of drupal<br>
installation as well as<br>
<br>
<Directory /var/www/html/drupal><br>
Options FollowSymLinks<br>
</Directory><br>
in my httpd.conf file<br>
<br>
However in order to resume installation when I point my browser to<br>
<a href="http://abd.com/drupal/site1" target="_blank">http://abd.com/drupal/site1</a><br>
<br>
I get following error message in my error log files<br>
"Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible"<br>
<br>
I have overhauled most of the drupal forums but no luck so far. Help would<br>
be appreciated.<br>
