What I'm trying to do is a fairly sensible symlink on
my server - my main photos section lives at
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/pics/
but knowing some people, I'll get attempts to
get to it at
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/photo/ and
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/photos/
(and having Dan Quayle as a mate (jk) also
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/photoes/ )

So I did the sensible thing and set up a couple
of symlinks:
bash$ ln -s pics photos
bash$ ln -s pics photoes

which gives me (extract):
lrwxrwxrwx   1 web3060  3060      4 Oct  5 16:40 photo -> pics
lrwxrwxrwx   1 web3060  3060      4 Oct  5 16:41 photoes -> pics
lrwxrwxrwx   1 web3060  3060      4 Oct  5 16:41 photos -> pics
drwxr-xr-x  10 web3060  3060   1024 Oct  3 22:04 pics

Smurfy, eh? Those Unix classes last year pay off.
cd photo (etc) gives me exactly what I'd expect - it takes
me into a dir with all the same content as /pics/.

So why the hell when I try to access
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/photo/ or
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/photo/index.html
(etc)
do I get 403 errors?

Cheers
Martin
