映射2个目录linux-server

Question

I have a website mydomain.com. The parent directory contains (among others) httpdocs and web_users. web_users contains a folder myFolder.

I made a symbolic link (ln -s) to httpdocs, all went well. But now, when I try to go to mydomain.com/myFolder, I get an error:

Forbidden You do not have permission to access this document.

Web Server at mydomain.com

How can I make this work? Do I have to adjust my .htaccess?

Regards, Tom

Answer 1

It seems like a file permission problem. Be sure that your web server user(www-data or httpd usually) has read permissions on your myFolder directory.

Answer 2

1, Be sure to have enabled

Option FollowSymLinks

Docs : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#Options

2, Be sure that apache process have read permissions to your directory, try to

chmod 0777 myFolder 

to your folder or

chown [apacheuser] myFolder

this should fix it
