[cobalt-users] Raq3 Symbolic Links to sub directory



Right ho.
I know how to make symbolic links,
but for the first time I need to, they don't seem to be readable.

Background.
I want to set up a 'user.one' on my web site 'domain.com'
This gives their default web address as http://www.domain.com/~user.one

What I then want is a linked directory with an 'interesting.name'
ie. http://www.domain.com/interesting.name
to serve the content of 'user.one's web directory

I set up the user, then...
ln -s users/user.one/web web/interesting.name

This links everything up fine, but when trying the interesting url, the
raq serves the Forbidden, no permission page.
It (of course) works fine with the tilde and user.name!

Why?

Cheers in advance.
