I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with Apache 2.2.11 installed. I have an audio application that creates an html log file of tracks that are playing. I am trying to use a symbolic link to access the html file so I can post it on my site over my LAN. The file resides in a directory inside of my documents folder...
/Users/[username]/Documents/MegaSeg User Data/Logs I have verified that the permissions to all of the parent directories have at least execute privileges for others. The html log file I am trying to link to has the following privileges... -rw-r--r--@ 1 [username] staff 625 Jul 10 17:17 NowPlaying.html I used the following command to setup my symbolic link... ln -s /Users/[username]/Documents/MegaSeg\ User\ Data/Logs/ NowPlaying.html nowplaying.html That seemed to work fine, because when I do an ls -al in my website's folder I see the link. I have a basic index.html, with a link to nowplaying.html, but when I click on the link I get a 403 Forbidden error. In reading the Apache documentation, I found that I may need to have FollowSymLinks somewhere in my configuration, but I am not sure from the Apache documentation where that should go. I assume it would either be in the form of a .htaccess file, or somewhere in the httpd.conf file. It should be noted that the DocumentRoot directory I am using is configured as an Alias in my httpd.conf. I am sure that this is configured correctly as I can access it just fine over my LAN. Can anyone help me out with this one? I am stuck. Thanks! -- Scott
