Fix Recommendation

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf and every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in it with an editor that contains a "<VirtualHost>" directive.

2. Search for the "DocumentRoot" directive at the OHS server and virtual host configuration scopes.

3. Within the directory specified by each "DocumentRoot" directive, check recursively for any symbolic links (e.g., find . -type l -exec ls -ald {} \;).

4. Remove any symbolic links found in the "DocumentRoot" directory tree.
