将apache别名指向truecrypt容器中的文件夹

Question

I tried making an Alias directory point to a directory in a truecrypt container and I always get a 403 Denied error. Can anyone fix this.

Answer 1

This is probably because the user Apache is running as doesn't have access to the truecrypt container.

I'm sure this can be fixed using sudo and mounting the truecrypt volume as the Apache user, but my gut instinct would be not to do this in the first place.

It opens a potential security hole (as the Apache service gets access to the truecrypt file), and is bound to be much slower than an Alias to an unencrypted location.
