Finally i’ve got it.
Make you sure that ALL the path to the directory you want to link have the right permissions.
In case:
chmod 755 “directory to change permissions”

Great tutorial, very easy. But I have a problem, Apache2 can’t follow symlinks (or alias as well). I want to put a link to my website dir on /Library/WebServer/Documents so it acts like a subdirectory, but it does’t work.
ln -s ~/Documents/websitedir /Library/WebServer/Documents/websitedir
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Enter:
sudo apachectl restart
to restart Apache. Alternatively go to System Preferences / Sharing and turn Web Sharing off and on again to achieve the same affect.

Thanks for the help Mark, very useful.

I’ve followed this and its a great tutorial. I’ve managed to define my ‘Sites’ folder as the location. This works fine and Apache is turned on. I’ve followed the steps and removed the # to turn on PHP but when i’ve tested it in a browser it doesn’t seem to be working. Anything i’m missing?

Great tutorial, very comprehensive and easy to use. One thing you might change is at the beginning. The user doesn’t have to install smultron to open the hidden file. Using sudo pico in terminal will open it just fine. But other than that it was extremely helpful. Thanks!
