title: How do I use symbolic links in Apache/XAMPP?
body: <p>I am trying to link from the htdocs directory in my XAMPP directory to my home directory (I am using Ubuntu). The permissions of the directory of my website are drwxrwxr-x. 
  I also added the FollowSymLinks option for htdocs in httpd.conf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs"&gt;
  
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
  
  AllowOverride All
  
  Require all granted
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nevertheless, I still get a error 403 when i try to open my website. 
  This is the message in error.log :</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Thu Dec 06 22:53:28.874813 2012] [core:error] [pid 7553] [client 127.0.0.1:32999] AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /opt/lampp/htdocs/benjamin/website-paul
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do you have any idea what could be the reason?</p>
