Lighttpd

Sorry for yet another 403 problem thread, but I searched all over the Internet for 2 hours and none of the solutions provided worked for me.

The distro is Fedora 16, lighttpd is straight from the repos (1.4.31 ssl), and the config files are almost 100% untouched (well, except for debug.request-handling). Document root is /var/www, and `ls -l /var/www` gives

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jul  9 09:44 lighttpd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   31 Jul 10 15:08 poisson -> /home/wyverald/projects/poisson

And I promise you, I quadruple-checked that /home, /h/wyverald, /h/w/projects and /h/w/p/poisson all have 755. I even did `su lighttpd` and `cat /home/wyverald/projects/poisson/script.js` or `cat /var/www/poisson/script.js` without a problem.

Now when I go http://localhost/poisson/script.js, I get a 403, and the log has this to say:

http://localhost/lighttpd works fine (the "lighttpd - fly light" page). This means that directories directly under /var/www work fine, but symlinks do not. server.follow-symlink is "enable"d by the way.

Any help? Thanks in advance.
