Re: Re: How can I stop PHP from resolving symlinks?

It is and the key word here is "Follow" as in resolve the real file location before parsing. This is clearly an Apache problem. I have asked this question on a few Apache forums and lists now and have not had any response. Is there any way to make Apache parse the files where it finds them and not go looking for the real file?
