Ok. I think I've got it. Try this: mkdir /home/test2/test3/ echo hello > /home/test2/test3/index.txt ln -s /home/test2/test3/ /home/test/test3 chmod -x /home/test2 lynx http://localhost:8091/index.txt A similar setup gave me the error you found. The problem is the file permissions on the target of the symlink. One of the parent directories of the path leading to your file does not give search permissions. So this was a configuration issue all along, but was made difficult to diagnose by an innacurate error message in the error log. I believe the error message bug is reported here: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28515 Joshua.
I believe this is the problem. It would have been immensely useful to have a better error message here.
