Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible
- by TK Kocheran
I can't seem to get a symlink working in my Apache VirtualHost, no matter what I try and I see the following error in the error log:
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/carddesigner
I can browse the actual symlink from Linux with no problems whatsoever:
$ ls -l /var/www | grep "carddesigner"
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rfkrocktk rfkrocktk 64 2011-02-28 16:52 carddesigner -> /home/rfkrocktk/Documents/Projects/Work/carddesigner/build/main/
Additionally, I've made sure that the my VirtualHost allows the FollowSymLinks option:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-localhost:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

I can't seem to find any other configuration files that seem to override this and/or prevent symlinks from being loaded. Any ideas?
Here are my permissions on the actual referenced files:
$ ls -l ~/Documents/Projects/Work/carddesigner/build/main
total 12
drwxrwxrwx 5 rfkrocktk rfkrocktk 4096 2011-02-28 16:11 advanced
drwxrwxrwx 2 rfkrocktk rfkrocktk 4096 2011-02-28 16:10 core
drwxrwxrwx 2 rfkrocktk rfkrocktk 4096 2011-02-28 16:10 simple
Seems like the permissions are good to go, right?
