Does the problem go away if you run the server as root? If so the problem is that you've got file permissions or ownership messed up. Check that the targets of symlinks belong to the user you are running as, and that directories have execute permission for the user you are running as.
Since you say you don't know much about linux, you may have to do some reading on the unix permissions system, and the chown and chmod commands.
If running as root does make the problem go away, try to avoid the temptation to simply run as root all the time - this is the easiest way to have your box owned.
