Hi everybody,

I read about treads realted to this issue but they did not resovle issue given below.
Please help me resolve issue given below

I have html file under /srv/www/htdocs/actual_folder
ls actual_folder/
test.html

and following link works
http://mysystem/actual_folder/test.html

then I created symbolic link
ln -s actual_folder symbolic_link

But, link with symbolic link folder doesn't work http://mysystem/symbolic_link/test.html
Browser displays Access forbidden! Error 403


A) Created conf file for apache : /etc/apache2/conf.d/myconf.conf

<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/actual_folder">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/symbolic_link">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Allow from all
</Directory>

Entry inside /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is as follows:
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

B) Apache log shows: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /srv/www/htdocs/symbolic_link

C) Permissions:
ls -ld actual_folder/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 80 Sep 3 16:30 actual_folder/

ls -l symbolic_link
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 3 16:31 symbolic_link -> actual_folder

D) Suse Linux enterprise server 10 sp2


Thanks

You can try to change the permissions of your '/srv/www/htdocs/' directory.

Changed the permission as follows , and restarted Apache but it did not work.

Issue is resolved.
My /etc/apache2/httpd.conf was including some conf files and in one of them "AllowOverride None" was set, i changed it to "AllowOverride All"
I had already set "Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews" in conf file
Others if any facing this issue can try out same.
