title: XAMPP Symbolic link Access Forbidden
body: <p>For a xampp server I have created a symbolic link. </p>
  
  <p>Now when running the server I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Access forbidden!
  
  You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
  
  If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
  Error 403
  localhost
  Apache/2.4.7 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.6 mod_perl/2.0.8-dev Perl/v5.16.3 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the project directory I currently only have an <code>index.html</code> file containing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have checked all the permissions on both the project directory and the directory the symbolic link is located in.<br>
  These are all set to 777. </p>
  
  <p>What could I do to get this to work?</p>
