Hi All,

I have configured Yum repository in FC4 and  created
Base,Updates and Extras folders in a separate
directory /repository as follows:

/repository/Fedora/Core/4/Base
/repository/Fedora/Core/4/Updates
/repository/Fedora/Core/4/Extras

I have created a link "yum" in /var/www/http/yum using
the command

ln -s /repository/Fedora

when iam trying to access the yum via browser
http://192.168.0.1/yum
Iam getting the following error

I browser:
You don't have permission to access /yum on this
server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was
encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to
handle the request. 

In /var/log/httpd/error.log as follows:

Symbolic link not allowed: /var/www/html/yum

plese help to solve this problem.

Thanks

Babu. J
