Creating a symbolic link in Sites directory

I have a file in my ~/Sites directory that works fine when I browse to it through coderama.local/~coderama/index2.php

Now I want to get tricky and move my index2.php file to somewhere else on my system, so I do this by creating a symbolic link. However, when I try to access coderama.local/~coderama/index2.php I now get the following error.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!
