Symlinked MAMP Folder Causing 403 Forbidden

问题

I have a folder in my root MAMP directory, "site". I have that symlinked to a folder in ~/Documents/Dropbox/site, so whatever happens in "site" gets transferred to Dropbox.

However, when I do this, I get a 403 forbidden error when trying to view localhost/site- is this a problem because I'm using PHP and I should fix php.ini, or is this an httpd.conf problem?

In httpd.conf, I have AllowOverride set to None.

Thanks for any answers in advance.

There's also the FollowSymlinks option in Apache, which is generally disabled by default. You can enable it by doing

Options +FollowSymlinks

This is a bit hacky, but I had this problem before and while the solution didn't necessarily make a whole lot of sense, it worked for me:

1. sudo su <username> to assume the user (eg, if your webserver is running as nobody, use nobody
2. If #1 is a user whose shell is something similar to /sbin/nologin, temporarily use usermod to change their shell to something you can use, like /bin/bash, before sudoing as them
3. Symlink as the user instead of root or whatever user this was done as previously
4. Reset any changes made in #2

Since symlinks are by default 0777, any normal process has read access provided that the destination directory is also of sufficient permissions (0644 would be fine) - for some reason Apache gave me problems with that to. Once I created the link as the user in question, it worked like a charm. HTH!

Edit: also, this almost goes without saying, but I'm assuming you verified the link yourself via a terminal to make sure that the link is correct, right?
