This question about Installation of Foswiki: Answered
RewriteRule Directive is forbidden
I have been trying without success to configure Foswiki on my Ubuntu webserver. It has been installed as a subdomain virtual server and is working except that skins are not being applied at all. I have checked permissions, path/URL settings and they all seem fine. I used the ApacheConfigurator with Rewrite URLs selected.This was addressed in the ApacheConfigGenerator. FollowSymLinks can now be requested. Do we still need a task for this?My apache error log reports, for eg:

FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/foswiki/pub/System/DocumentGraphics/searchtopic.gif, referer: http://admin.mywebsite/bin/view/System/WebHomeHere is the virtual server.conf

OK - I finally found the solution to the problem. I am suprised that no-one else has come up against this problem.
Unless I am mistaken the ApacheConfigGenerator has generated a configuration for the /var/www/foswiki/pub (where the Skins reside) with Options None.
Obviously, it needs to be:
<Directory "/var/www/foswiki/pub">
Options FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from env=blockAccess
ErrorDocument 404 /bin/viewfile
# Disable execusion of PHP scripts
php_admin_flag engine off
# This line will redefine the mime type for the most common types of scripts
AddType text/plain .shtml .php .php3 .phtml .phtm .pl .py .cgi
#
#add an Expires header that is sufficiently in the future that the browser does not even ask if its uptodate
# reducing the load on the server significantly
#IF you can, you should enable this - it _will_ improve your Foswiki experience, even if you set it to under one day.
# you may need to enable expires_module in your main apache config
#LoadModule expires_module libexec/httpd/mod_expires.so
#AddModule mod_expires.c
#<ifmodule mod_expires.c>
# <filesmatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|css|js)$">
# ExpiresActive on
# ExpiresDefault "access plus 11 days"
# </filesmatch>
#</ifmodule>
#
</Directory>
# Spammers are known to attach
