    Hi,

    I was wondering if it was possible to share/symlink a directory between two separate accounts?

    For instance:

    /home/user1/public_html/images

    and

    /home/user2/public_html/

    I have created a symlink however when attempting to go to the user2 website images directory I get a 403 Forbidden error and this shows up in my logs

    Permission denied: access to /images/db2506787.jpg failed because search permissions are missing on a component of the path
