Problem solved. It seems that after the move the symbolic links were still pointing to the old server. So I wrote a simple PHP program to change all the links.

I have a site working on one shared server company and tried to move it to a shared server in another company. But after the move all the uploaded files cannot be accessed. The error message when I clicked on the link is that I do not have permission to access the file.
The error log shows that "Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible". I noticed that for every file uploaded, there is an symbolic link entry in the public/downloads directory which links to a file in docstore. I searched on line and it seems that one possible problem is that Apache was running under a different username than the file owner. But I checked with the hosting company and they said that Apache is running under the same username as the file owner so that is not a problem.
If I upload a file in the new site, the file is accessible but it is stored in the private directory. There are many files uploaded and I don't want to reload all the files. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
