httpd 2.4.25-1.fc25 avoiding search permission errors across file systems Fedora 25 linux

[David B Snyder <dbsnyder471@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to set up httpd across several file systems on a Fedora 25 Linux
 system, and I'm doing something wrong.

I haven't succeeded in getting httpd to serve pages across the mounted 
file systems.

example errors:
[Sun Mar 05 13:31:50.628070 2017] [core:error] [pid 1001] (13)Permission 
denied: [client ::1:50082] AH00035: access to /snyder/index.html denied 
(filesystem path '/mnt/Workspace/snyder/www/index.html') because search 
permissions are missing on a component of the path

[Sun Mar 05 13:32:01.840581 2017] [core:error] [pid 999] (13)Permission 
denied: [client ::1:50084] AH00035: access to /local/index.html denied 
(filesystem path '/home/snyder/index.html') because search permissions 
are missing on a component of the path


As far as I can tell, the permissions are correct, allowing read and execute
drwxr-xr-x.  14 root   root    4096 Feb  3 09:51 /mnt #this works

drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root  4096 Mar  4 15:55 /mnt/Workspace  #does not work
drwxr-xr-x.   9 snyder snyder  4096 Dec  9 10:31 /home      #does not work

From httpd.conf:
...

<Directory "/mnt">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    # Allow open access:
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/snyder">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    # Allow open access:
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory "/mnt/Workspace">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    # Allow open access:
   Require all granted
</Directory>


alias /local/ /home/snyder/
alias /mnt/ /mnt/
alias /snyder/ /mnt/Workspace/snyder/www/

...

From my browser [Firefox]
'localhost'  displays the index.html

'localhost/mnt/' produces a directory listing, however clicking on the
Workspace entry [localhost/mnt/Workspace] produces 403 "Forbidden /n
You don't have permission to access /mnt/Workspace/ on this server."

'localhost/local/' produces a similar 403 "Forbidden" message.

The error_log messages are

[Sun Mar 05 13:31:50.628070 2017] [core:error] [pid 1001] (13)Permission 
denied: [client ::1:50082] AH00035: access to /snyder/index.html denied 
(filesystem path '/mnt/Workspace/snyder/www/index.html') because search 
permissions are missing on a component of the path

[Sun Mar 05 14:07:25.405553 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 1000] 
(13)Permission denied: [client ::1:50688] AH01275: Can't open directory 
for index: /mnt/Workspace/, referer: http://localhost/mnt/


from /etc/mtab:
/dev/sda6 /mnt/Workspace ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/mapper/fedora_snydercpu-home /home ext4 
rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

I'm running Fedora 25 with
httpd.x86_64 2.4.25-1.fc25                   @updates
httpd-filesystem.noarch 2.4.25-1.fc25                   @updates
httpd-manual.noarch 2.4.25-1.fc25                   @updates
httpd-tools.x86_64 2.4.25-1.fc25                   @updates

I suppose I could work exclusively within the root file system, But I 
think I
should not have to :).

Thanks for any advice
