This article tells how a directory in the Mac OS Extended Format (HFS Plus) volume can be used by the HTTP Server.

1. The HTTP server may be moved to the HFS Plus volume (configured in SetupAssistant or changed in the Network Preferences). Because HFS Plus does not have some of the inherent security features of UFS, administrators should take precautions with this configuration.
2. Directories on the HFS Plus volume may have links in the HTTP server's directories. Notice that the setting in the /Local/Library/WebServer/Configurations/apache.conf file that allows the HTTP server to follow these links is in the OPTIONS for the specific directory. Use OPTION followsymlinks to enable the HTTP server to access the HFS Plus directories. Note: This is also a type of security risk and careful consideration of access and privileges should be taken. (Remember that the HTTP server settings are only read when that server starts. Any changes to the .conf file requires restarting the Apache server.)
