Resolved Symlinks out of webspace are prohibited

[Sysop]

I created a symlink in my httpdocs directory:

$ ln -s /drive2/folder folder
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root  root         9 Aug 17 00:07 folder -> /drive2/folder
$ cd folder
$ pwd
/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/folder
$ cat .htaccess
Options +Indexes

I followed the instructions here:

Cannot open File Manager: Symlinks out of webspace are prohibited /: Access to realpath denied

Although I still get 403 Forbidden when trying to access http://example.com/folder. I tried putting the directive in both http and https sections but to no avail, any tips would be appreciated.

Resolved by using:

HTTP:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/xxx.com/httpdocs>
       Options +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

HTTPS:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/xxx.com/httpsdocs>
       Options +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
