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.

Daniel McAllister

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.
