First assuming that the symlink was created correctly access right are
OK etc...
Since we are in the realms of guesswork I will assume that the
'link_to_a_directory' does NOT have a trailing slash - which you need
to follow the symlink. Note that the symlink is NOT a dir but a link
to something.
/var/www/link_to_dir is a symlink
/var/www/link_to_dir/. is the directory.
so
/var/www/link_to_dir/ is a reasonable directory pattern
try
ls -l /var/www/link_to_dir
and
ls -l /var/www/link_to_dir/
ls -l /var/www/link_to_dir/.
At least this is the mistake I have made in the past :-)

No matter what I get the following error message if it is symlink to
a directory.
[Fri Jul 28 07:21:26 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed
or link target not accessible: /srv/www/mediawiki
Is there any way to override the settings at this point?
Thanks,
