I know this question gets asked a lot but none of the answers have solved my problem. I have the same configuration on my work computer but it's not working at home!
First I pulled from my git repository into ~/proto-spa. Then I installed apache2. I disabled the default site, and then I copied the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
verbatim and dumped it into /etc/apache2/sites-available/proto-spa
. I changed it to point to /var/www/proto-spa
. I changed directories to var/www
and symlinked to my local copy with ln -s ~/proto-spa
. Then I restarted apache2.
I keep getting a 403. My apache log says:
[Thu Apr 26 08:53:02 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/proto-spa
I followed advice on various posts, including chmod -R 755 ~/proto-spa
, etc, but nothing works.
Ok, this is the part where you ask to see my configuration.

And here's the part where you ask to see permissions:
sam@sam-central:~$ ls -l /var/www/proto-spa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2012-04-26 08:34 /var/www/proto-spa -> /home/sam/proto-spa/

total 44

Let me know if any other information would be useful, and thanks in advance for your help!
