Question Apache Symlinks


I want to symlink /home/gdw/web to /var/www/html/gdw

In other words, when I type in [ipaddress]/gdw/index.html
I want it to grap the file out of /home/gdw/web/index.html

I am using Apache on Redhat 7.3

Could someone explain why it's not working and giving me an forbidden access error. We've tried setting all sorts of permissions. Could someone please layout the exact permissions needed for the directories involved and if we need to change anything in a configuration file anywhere. Thanks.

Alias /gdw/ "/home/gdw/web/index.html"
