apache isn't real fond of symbolic links unless you add Directory
primitives for the real directory.   actually, I'd blow off the symlink
entirely, and instead use something like...

/etc/httpd/conf.d/smokering.conf:
   Alias   /smokering/     /usr/local/smokering/htdocs/
   <Directory /usr/local/smokering/htdocs>
       AllowOverride All
       Options MultiViews All
   </Directory>


(adjusting the privileges as needed inside that <Directory> block...)
