I have files that I want to serve up in apache on linux.
Running Apache/2.2.2 (Fedora)

the files are in a folder call fs in my home dir /home/vsite

/home/vsite/fs

drwxr-xr-x 2 vsite vsite 12288 Mar 12 07:50 fs

an example file
-rw-r--r-- 1 vsite vsite 3533 Mar 12 12:55 file1.html

The DocumentRoot is :
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

I made a link inside /var/www/html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 12 13:01 fs -> /home/vsite/fs

I try to go to the file1.html as follows:

http://10.3.3.131/fs/file1.thml and get forbidden .....

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /fs/ on this server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/2.2.2 (Fedora) Server at 10.3.3.131 Port 80


I also have this in my httpd.conf

<Directory "/home/vsite/fs">
Order allow,deny
</Directory>


<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


Also

I tried to change the DocumentRoot to "/home/vsite/fs"
but apache won't start when I have
DocumentRoot "/home/vsite/fs"


solving either of the above would be fine

thanx
