Have you tried accessing the file via the symbolic
link (with your editor, less etc.) and it actually
worked?

Next, please make sure you have Options +FollowSymLinks
in your Apache configuration (assuming you're on Apache)
for the directory you put the symlink in

You probably have to modify the rule as following:
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
Options ..... +FollowSymLinks
...

Then, restart Apache.
