Topic: File access issue from new hdd through symlink folder

[tor2013]

I am using Centos 6.3 final and Apache 2.2.15. I recently installed a new HDD and created a symlink within my website's root directory so that my script can write big files to it and uses can access them through web. However, it looks like I misconfigured something or missed something and it's not working now.

This is what I did so far:

Old HDD:
/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/bigfile2 (symlink to link to folder below in new HDD)
New HDD:
/newdisk/bigfile2

Now, the script writes files to new HDD properly but users can't access them from website. It gives 403, forbidden error when I try to visit mysite.com/bigfile2/file1.mov. I read your forum and saw a similar post here http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=22932 where someone mentioned about adding something like this within httpd.conf file?

<Directory "/newdisk/bigfile2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

And restart apache but still no luck! Do I need to add this to .htaccess ?

Any idea what am i missing?

Thanks
