Cannot follow symlinks, apache 403

edit

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 ~

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
