I tried to make this file accessable through web, but I am stuck at "Access Forbidden", probably because the symbolic link is not readable to "others", but neither a 'chmod 644 public_html/STARZ.html' neither a 'chmod g=r,o=r public_html/STARZ.html' would change it. I don't find any more leads in the man pages for ln or chmod.

What server is this on?

yours, the symbolic link can be accessed (or rather not ^^) via http://fusion.phoenix-hosting.org/~DeKus/STARZ.html

Try using chmod 755

$ chmod 755 public_html/STARZ.html
$ ls -l public_html
total 0
lrwx--x--x 1 DeKus users 33 Mar 16 10:16 STARZ.html -> /home/DeKus/STARZ/logs/STARZ.html

chmod 755 public_html

I meant which specific server, falcon or fusion.

Fusion - take a close look at the URL.

I know, but that wasn't in the original post when I asked :(

come on please, get real... I am not THAT noobish @_o
I wouldn't bother asking here, if it would be such a obvious solution ;).

$ ls -l

my reply to your post hasn't changed, since I posted it ;). I even answered your question in 2 diffrent ways :D.

De Kus, try to catch krod on IRC as he's more knowledgable about the setup on Fusion then I am.

i think falcon has similar problem back then. i dont know know.
problems in permissions in the public_html directory.

nope, its not the permission for the directory. As you can see the link is currently up, but the problem itself could not be solved. I am using a workaround and directed the script to directly write to public_html instead of writing to logs and create the symbolic link in public_html.

I am using a partial solution. Instead of linking public_html/STARZ.html to STARZ/logs/STARZ.html, I just changed the whole thing to STARZ/logs/STARZ.html -> public_html/STARZ.html so apache access the real file and the bot is redirected via the symbolic link.
