Open up httpd.conf and look for a line that's commented out that starts
with Options and has FollowSymLinks in it. Something like this:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
If the FollowSymLinks option isn't already available, just add it to the
line that _isn't_ commented out.
You'll want to make sure that you do this for the webroot directory.
There's a section that starts like this:
<Directory "/web">
where /web is whatever you have your webroot set to. Make sure that the
FollowSymLinks option is in there.
