I would like to be able to use a symbolic link to locate the syslog message
file (e.g. to be able to find the daily or weekly logfile)
Then I can run a cron right after midnight to repoint "today". (I might
want to do this weekly to be practical, but I just want to get it running
to start with.)

To test, I can copy 
      cp /var/log/syslog_data/daily/2014-04-03/messages.log /var/log/today

And I am in business! However if I:
    ln -s /var/log/syslog_data/daily/2014-04-03/messages.log /var/log/today

It is broken.
I have tried all the chown/chmod variations I can think of:
[root at admin-eq-loghost syslog_data]# ls -al
/var/log/syslog_data/daily/2014-04-03/messages.log                         
                               
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root logadmin 1747246 Apr  3 10:50
/var/log/syslog_data/daily/2014-04-03/messages.log

Is there something I need to do to convince the php to follow the symbolic
link?
I think the web server is OK:
<Directory /var/log>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


Thanks.
