Apache on BlueQuartz is configured to not follow symbolic links - unless the 
owner matches.

To get around this, edit this file as root:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/bluequartz.conf

What you're looking for is this Directory container:

# be more restrictive within a site
<Directory /home/.sites/*/*/>
Options -FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>

Change it to this:

# be more restrictive within a site
<Directory /home/.sites/*/*/>
Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>

And then restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

With best regards,
