403 Error | Symbolic Link

[Miala]

Hello,
I have created a symbolic link from htdocs/mi to /media/miala/3410D5D510D59E64/Users/Miala/Documents/Prog/Web/.mi/ and when I go to localhost/mi, I have this message:

Code: Select all

How to resolve that ?

You have to grant proper rights to /media/miala/3410D5D510D59E64/Users/Miala/Documents/Prog/Web/.mi/ for the Apache User (the User which is running Apache, determined by the setting of "User" in httpd.conf). As /media/miala seems to be a portable device, it may be difficult or even impossible to access it with a different UserId than Miala. You have to edit and configure the mount options for that device. You cannot override mount options via chmod or chown command. Thats a plain Linux issue. Probably already /media/miala might be unaccessible for the Apache User (i.e. www-data or similar). You have to grant proper access for ALL subdirectories of /media/miala as well.

Instead of creating a symbolic link it may be better to copy the contents of that device to a fixed harddisk (i.e. a subfolder of htdocs). Apache is not mentioned to access USB sticks or similar.
