[ome-devel] apache2.conf FollowSymLinks

[Tom Macura]

August,

/OME contains /OME/OMEIS and everything else.
"everything else" is less than 6mbs.
It's the OMEIS image repository path you need to be concerned about  
and it's an install parameter you set early on:

-------------------
Core System Setup
-------------------
        Base OME directory: /OME
      Base OMEIS directory: /OME/OMEIS

Once you've got an OME installed on your box and configured for your  
box, things get much easier.
Say if you update OME from CVS. All you got to do is type
	sudo perl install -u -y
and walk away from the keyboard. Everything just happens.

Don't think FollowSymLinks is needed if you do things this way,
