On my Ubuntu 10.04 installation, my userdir.conf file includes the 'FollowSymLinks' option for the /home/*/public_html directories. However, if I try to access my user directory from a browser 'http://localhost/~username', I get a 403 Forbidden error. In the apache error log, it says: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/username/public_html I have ruled out the possibility that this is a permission problem since I can access the directory directly rather than through the symbolic link. Any ideas would be appreciated. Could it be "SymLinksIfOwnerMatch": http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#options Regards, Rainer
