Could the problem have something to do with the way php deals with simlinks -
but if so I do not know how to fix it!!

You will see I have installed the standard php test.php script
in /usr/local/www/data which works fine so we know php is dollowing the
symlink to that point.

Are there any specific entries that need to be made in http.conf or php.ini?

Here is the link and other Directory info:
