403 and error log errors?

Ever since installing vBSEO my members have reported occasional 403 errors. There is no real rhyme or reason to them besides they are all in the forums.

here are the errors in the error log which I am clueless about:

Hello,

using the mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess requires that your httpd.conf has "Options FollowSymLinks" enabled.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

This is in my apache config and has been all along. What else could cause this?

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

You've got it set so that none can override it.. taking out that line would get it to work if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks... I removed that line and restarted apache. I will see if this helps.

Yeah let me know if it works

Hi,
