Default Symlinks

For security reasons we have disabled symlinks on all of our shared and reseller servers. If you are experiencing a 500 internal server error, please add the following line to your .htaccess file:

Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

#Use the following line if you use shtml includes:
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes

You may also need to comment out the following:

Options +FollowSymLinks

Note to Drupal users: You will also need to edit the .htaccess file located in public_html/sites/default/files/

Additionally, If you had the options to enable CGI execution in the .htaccess file, this would need to be removed as well, and the CGI scripts moved to your "cgi-bin" folder with permissions of 755.
