You probably need a "Directory" tag.
If you look in your httpd.conf you will probably that there is one that says
something like...
<Directory "/www/html">
...and a little below that...
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
...The above could be wildly different, but the point is that it would have
the option for indexes. There is usually a directory tag that is for the "/"
directory that ensures that these kinds of things can't be done for security
reasons. It also usually allows the following of symlinks to allow that to
work as you had stated.
So to fix your problem (hopefully) you need to add something to the effect
of...
<Directory "/home/user/site.com/">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Of course do a little more reading if it doesn't exactly fit your needs. The
httpd.conf file provided by RH is fairly well commented.
Hope that helps.
