Hi All,

I have the "Symbolic link not allowed:" error that I don't know how
it to fix it. Your help would be very appreciated!

Part of my http.conf file ###
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.php

I want to make symbolic link from /export/home/dave/html TO /var/www/
html/faculty/dave
[root@snow mmedina]# cd /var/www/html/faculty/
[root@snow faculty]# ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 20 17:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Mar 20 16:14 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 dardell dardell 4096 Mar 6 17:29 dardell
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Mar 20 17:00 dave -> /export/home/
dave/html

Everything looks fine with me so far, but when I do 'url'http://www.myscholl.edu/faculty/dave
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /faculty/quoc on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at snow.ucmerced.edu Port 80"

And the error_log file has
Symbolic link not allowed: /var/www/html/faculty/dave

Thanks for your help!
