Hi @edexercom,

The Symbolic Link needs to be owned by the same user and group that’s owning the Website Folder otherwise you won’t be able to access it.

To give you the proper answer, I’ll recommend providing a little bit more information such as the permissions and ownerships of the folders that lead to the symbolic link. It’s 99% a permissions/ownership issue!

    Hi @edexercom,

    Try giving the public folder and the one before that - public_html I would assume all the permissions. Just for a test and tell me how it goes.

        Hi @edexercom,

        Let’s review the problem from a bit further back.

        When we have permission issues it’s because the user that needs to be executing something does not have them. In this case there are a couple of possibilities.

        • The user/group does not have permissions.
        • The user does not have group permissions.
        • Ownership is not correct.

        I can see you have edexer as user and psacln as group. The easiest way is to use su and switch with the user edexer.

        su edexer

        Try to browse around directories, see if you have any issues with that.

        Regards,
        KFSys
