[OpenAFS] AFS and Apache Virtual Directory

[Todd Lewis]

If you are running with SELinux enabled, try disabling SELinux and see 
what happens. I know Apache on Fedora Core 4 out of the box won't follow 
symlinks in AFS. You can make it do that, but you have to convince it 
you really want to. Disabling it is just for testing to see if that's 
the issue.
