Check your commonhttpd.conf file, (/etc/httpd/conf/ ) but usually the
default allows you to follow symlinks (in the past) if not look for
# Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with
respect# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in
that# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
#
# Also, for security, we disable indexes globally
#
<Directory />
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
and make it look like the above. Then go to var/www/html and type ln -s
/absolute/path/to/my/directory directory This will then be the same as
moving them physically there. It's a hack........ but it works.
