Symlinks and Web Access

In organizing the doctree for my website, I am trying to use symlinks to use a single image directory while pointing to it from multiple places.

The problem is that I am still getting the broken images (403 Forbidden Error - NOT 404) even though I can perfectly 'cd' to it from the LINUX/UNIX shell.

Any ideas please. Is there something I should do with the file permissions/ownership???

Thanks a lot

>> I am trying to use symlinks

If it's for Apache you need to tell Apache to FollowSymLinks

Anyway, to accomplish your simple task there is a directive called Alias without using symlink at all.

Just define the following globally:

Alias /images/ "/full/path/no/symlink/to/your/images/dir/"

Next time you hava a Apache question, don't ask here, ask ONLY in Apache forum.
