Sym Links

I am trying to link to another directory but cannot get this to work. I
cannot seem to find proper instructions as to how to do this.

/usr/local/apache/share/original - this is the target folder.
xxx.com/test - is the url i want to type into my browser.

can anyone advise what i am doing wrong


DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/share/new
ServerName xxx.com

Options FollowSymLinks
ln -s /usr/local/apache/share/original ./test
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is NOT an apache directive. It is an OS command line. You do this
once to create the symlink.

Or you may use an alias (on those OSses not supporting symlinks)
