Cannot follow symlinks, apache 403
I don't know what's wrong this time. I believe I normally would use chmod o+x on the directory I wanted to access but I guess that wasn't it.
What I'm trying to do it create a symbolic link to the directory /home/matthew/public_html from /var/www/html.
I've made sure SELinux is disabled and that my httpd.conf file is accurate and allows people to follow symbolic links.
Here is an ls -l dump:
matthew@Fedora ~$ ls -l ~
total 28
drwxr-xr-x. 2 matthew matthew 4096 Feb 8 20:59 Desktop
drwxr-xr-x. 4 matthew matthew 4096 Feb 8 20:58 Documents
drwxr-xr-x. 2 matthew matthew 4096 Feb 9 13:13 Downloads
drwxr-xr-x. 2 matthew matthew 4096 Feb 8 20:49 Music

drwxrwxr-x 6 matthew matthew 4096 Feb 9 13:48 public_html
drwxr-xr-x. 2 matthew matthew 4096 Feb 8 20:49 Videos
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Apache does need a 'followsymlinks' directive, and you may have to change an SELinux boolean to serve files out of /home. Wouldn't it be easier to leave the files in /var/www and make "/home/matthew/publichtml" the symlink?
