[cobalt-users] Symbolic Link from web to user/web directory

[Step Firth <step@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I have got rather muddled.

I have migrated a site across to my raq3,
but have to implement the functionality of the old host,
which I don't think should be a problem.

However, this bit seems to be.

main site www.domain.com
highly publicised sub project url
www.domain.com/project
This project is completely administered by a third party,
that I don't want meddling with the rest of the site.

So, I set up a user, and they have uploaded their project to...
www.domain.com/~user1/project
which is live and working on the web.

I then made a symbolic link (directory to directory) so the original url still works...
from /home/sites/www.domain.com
ln -s users/user1/web/project web/project

The link is there on the disc, but from the web I get
Forbidden
You do not have permission to access the requested file on this server.
I changed the owner of both directory and link to the site admin, and both to the site user.
Still Forbidden.

What have I done wrong?
