I have made symlinks from /usr/local/www/data/<stuff> to within www in my home directory.Make sure that you have FollowSymLinks enabled, for one. Next, you're right that directories need the execute bit set, but if you make the files group-owned by a group that the webserver runs as (perhaps "www-data"?), you can get by with 750 permissions on directories, and 640 permissions on files.
Some of the files for the class web sites (handouts, syllabi) are just
copies of things elsewhere in my home directory.
I'd like to symlink from within www to these (and they have 644
permissions), but apparently the lack of world execute permissions on
the directories is causing permission problems--and real links get out
of sync when I update the files.
