Symbolic links within www/html folder

The local apache instance on my box loads content from /var/www/html

If I put html files in this folder I can see them fine via [localhost...]

If I put html files elsewhere on my system and create a symbolic link from the /var/www/html to their location then I get:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /testdir on this server."

The link I created was to /tmp which has full persmissions for all users.

What am I doing wrong?

does the symbolic link have the necessary permissions?
