Hi,

I'm having trouble configuring apache so that the public_html folder can be a symbolic link to another directory.Â On my Ubuntu 10.04 installation, my userdir.conf file includes the 'FollowSymLinks' option for the /home/*/public_html directories.Â However, if I try to access my user directory from a browser 'http://localhost/~username', I get a 403 Forbidden error.Â In the apache error log, it says:

Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/username/public_html

I have ruled out the possibility that this is a permission problem since I can access the directory directly rather than through the symbolic link.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason
