I'm having some trouble setting up Apache on Ubuntu. I've been following <a href="http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-11.04-natty">this guide</a>. <pre><code># /usr/sbin/apache2 -v Server version: Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server built: Feb 22 2011 18:33:02 </code></pre> My public directory, /var/www, can successfully serve up and execute PHP pages that are placed in it. However, I want to create a symlink in /var/www that points to a directory in my home folder and serve pages there. <pre><code>[root /var/www]# ll total 36 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-09-11 14:22 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2011-06-04 22:49 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2011-09-11 13:21 about -> /root/site/about </code></pre> When I try to access /about on browser, I get <pre><code>Forbidden You don't have permission to access /about on this server. </code></pre> As far as I know, I gave sufficient privileges to the files I want to serve: <pre><code>[root ~/site/about]# ll total 24 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2011-09-11 13:20 . drwxr--r-- 3 root root 4096 2011-09-11 13:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-09-11 13:21 contact -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1090 2011-09-11 13:19 index.php drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-09-11 13:20 me drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-09-11 13:21 resume </code></pre> I'm aware of the FollowSymLinks option, and I believe it's set in my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file: <pre><code>DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </code></pre> Any idea what I could be missing?

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
