What does the error log say exactly? http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout#head-71b68a0694807d2b3b5d02e46b7a11f01fdd4836 <- find your error log hereI am running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with Apache 2.2.11 installed. I have an audio application that creates an html log file of tracks that are playing. I am trying to use a symbolic link to access the html fileso I can post it on my site over my LAN. The file resides in a directory insideof my documents folder... /Users/[username]/Documents/MegaSeg User Data/Logs I have verified that the permissions to all of the parent directories have at least execute privileges for others. The html log file I am trying to link to has the following privileges... -rw-r--r--@ 1 [username] staff 625 Jul 10 17:17 NowPlaying.html I used the following command to setup my symbolic link... ln -s /Users/[username]/Documents/MegaSeg\ User\ Data/Logs/ NowPlaying.html nowplaying.html That seemed to work fine, because when I do an ls -al in my website's folder I see the link. I have a basic index.html, with a link to nowplaying.html, but when I click on the link I get a 403 Forbidden error.
In reading the Apache documentation, I found that I may need to have FollowSymLinks somewhere in my configuration, but I am not sure from the Apache documentation where that should go. I assume it would either be in the form of a .htaccess file, or somewhere in the httpd.conf file. It should be noted that the DocumentRoot directory I am using is configured as an Alias in my httpd.conf. I am sure that this is configured correctly as I can access it just fine over my LAN.It should go in a <Directory /your/document/root> block in the <VirtualHost *:80> block. If there is no <VirtualHost> block, then somewhere after the DocumentRoot declaration.
It should be Options +FollowSymLinks (always use +/- before the option) Doug Bell -- Senior Developer, Plain Black Corp.
