No, but if you did have it enabled, you'd get the results you're getting
with the configuration you've shown.

Sorry, maybe I'm missing what you are hinting at. I don't have that option enabled, yet I'm still seeing these results.

I just tried enabling that option and changing ownership of the symlink per your suggestion, but I still got the same results.

If I delete the symlink, mythweb recreates it when I click the "Video" link, and the page loads successfully, but if it already exists, regardless of ownership I get the aforementioned error. So what does that mean? I'm sure I have something configured wrong, but for the life of me I can't figure out what that is. Symlinks to things like music and such seem to be working fine.

I started out on Myth .20-fixes, and recently upgraded to SVN for firewire needs, so maybe something in the upgrade process? I know mythweb was working fine before. Upon upgrading I followed the README and got my mythweb.conf file all setup. 

Thanks again for the help.
Mike
