Hi,

Odd issue between two OSes with the same config: In both cases, the archives are configured for public access. On one server, archives are accessible while on the other, access is denied with the error message:

*AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/LISTNAME, referer: https://lists.server.name/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME https://lists.server.name/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME*

would think that this is where the issue is, but seems like it's elsewhere???* AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory>
