Hi,

In my template directory, I have a symlink to the actual version of my template so that I can have multiple DW versions that are using the same template. If I change from using my template to say, the default template, then I can't switch back to my template in the config manager because it doesn't list symlinked templates. Is there a reason for this, or is this a bug that I should add to bugs.splitbrain.org..? 
(I'm running an older version, 2008-05-13...)


Apache has a "FollowSymLinks" attribute for directories, check
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html

If its turned off, it won't follow the symlink (as the name suggests:-)
Do you have access to the Apache configuration?
Actually, if it was turned off, why would DW have allowed the template to be used in the first place? In other words, the template works BEFORE you change from it to something else. It's just that you can't change back to it from the configuration manager. I explicitly do set the followsymlinks and it still doesn't work. 

Jason.
