Re: [tlug] Can't Change ownership of symlink

Darren,

Thank you for responding.
 

There is a FollowSymLinks option in Apache:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
Perhaps some apache upgrade has started switching this off (there are
security implications).

As I said to Stephen, there is also a symlink to phpmyadmin that is working, so I don't think this can be the issue. 

BTW, if *all* your web sites are in /home/dave, then it may be simpler
to change DocumentRoot to be /home/dave/web_sites, instead of messing
around with symlinks?

Seemed like a good idea when I set it up for some reason.

But just to be sure, I tried changing one of my web sites to use the actual directory as the document root, and then restarted Apache.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the "403 Forbidden" error.
