HTML and CGI-Bin won't work when linked (ln -s) to folders in Linux apache

Hi!

I am using apache on Redhat, when I link my html and CGI folder using
ln -s they give me 403 error. But when I don't they work fine.

In apache http.conf file:

user www
group apache

CGI folder permisions are

lrwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache date /var/www/cgi-bin -> /lad/www-data/cgi-
bin


I tried chown www:apache /var/www/cgi-bin
to both origin and source folders but that didn't work

I tried chown apache:apache /var/www/cgi-bin
to both origin and source folders but that didn't work


I tried chown root:root /var/www/cgi-bin
to both origin and source folders but that didn't work




Any advise? .. work around??
