Hi,
In the documentation [1] I read

To enable the rewrite engine in this context, you need to set
"RewriteEngine On" and "Options FollowSymLinks" must be enabled. If your
administrator has disabled override of FollowSymLinks for a user's
directory, then you cannot use the rewrite engine. This restriction is
required for security reasons.

I wonder what are those security reasons. FollowSymlinks is necessary
even if no symlinks are involved, isnt it? What could happen if
FollowSymlinks where not necessary?

I try do use one of the images available from [1]
These images comes in two flavors, one vmx, one ovf.

I do not know how to convert one of these to centos6-libvirt-kvm

virt-convert gives me an error

$ virt-convert -i ovf -o virt-image path_to_image.ovf
ERROR    Couldn't convert disks: Disk conversion failed with exit status
1: qemu-img: Could not open 'path_to_image.vmdk'

The vmdk does exist. It seems that qemu-img can not handle this vmdk
format. I am also not sure if v2v could do it.

I think the essence of my post is the question
Is it possible to use vmx or ovf images with kvm, possibly after
converting them?
