virtualhost - Apache not accessing a symlink vhost directory?

Alright I've been hitting my head against the desk trying to figure out whats going on with this virtual host. I'm able to load the standard html and php files from the default doc root but can't load any virtual hosts.

I'm confused as apache is able to write to the logs directory for the srp.com vhost but the error log just has "[error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/vhosts". From what I have been reading thats an issue with vhosts being a symlink but I've included the FollowSymLinks option.

What have I over looked when trying to set the vhosts up?

Apache2 is running at www-data user.
Default DocumentRoot is /var/www

/var/www:

drwxrwsr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 14 22:49 .

-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  64 Nov 27 23:35 index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 181 Mar 14 22:13 index.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data  46 Mar 14 22:49 vhosts -> /mnt/slackhome/krizzo/Dropbox/websites/vhosts/

The /var/www/vhosts/srp.com/ directory:

drwxrwxr-x  5 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 14 22:04 .
drwxrwsr-x 13 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 14 22:02 ..

The solution is to make sure php has the mysql drivers installed. Code Igniter uses the @ to take control of any errors in it's sql module which means the logs will not show anything if there is an issue connecting to the database.
