Apache Documentation is here (middle column - read all)
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/
You need to add alias in httpd.conf where you attempt to stick symlink.

You can allow sym-links in apache on a directory-by-directory basis, or you may be blocking them on a system-wide basis.
The most common time this shows up is when people upgrade older Apache systems to newer ones (usually in a jump from, say RHEL 5 to RHEL 6)... as the default behavior has changed.
I hope this helps point you in the right direction for complete assistance.
Happy Holidays!

PHP will not work with symlinked directory... And it is a security hole,a nd kills chroot if you wish one etc.
The above statement is not necessarily true...
Symbolic Links are a filesystem "shortcut" to a different file... they can be either:
- RELATIVE (which is to say, relative to the current location), or
- ABSOLUTE (which is to say, points to an absolute location)
For example, if I'm currently in /home/users/user1 and I want a symbolic link to /home/users/user2/file I could reference it in either fashion:
- ln -s ../user2/file .
- ln -s /home/user2/file .
In the former case, I'm using a relative symbolic link, in the latter an absolute one...
The difference in this case is that, especially in the case of "deep" files (or those instances when you're chrooted) -- the RELATIVE link will still work, whereas the ABSOLUTE link will be useless.
Symbolic Links in a Windows environment have some security issues... in a Mac or Linux environment, less so -- assuming you're not allowing them in places like /tmp (there are some known exploits about symbolic links and /tmp files&folders).
If you need to use symbolic links in a web environment you MUST use relative links. PERIOD.
I hope this helps.
