To where? /home/shared/common or
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/home/shared/common ?

Add this to your access.conf or httpd.conf:
<Directory /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/common>
Options Indexes
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Is /usr/local/httpd/htdocs the DocumentRoot? -- configured in httpd.conf
or srm.conf.

Does "common" reside directly under your DocumentRoot? If
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs is your DocumentRoot then the answer would be
yes. If not, you could add a virtual host to your apache config (similar
to the following):
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/httpd/htdocs
ServerName www.myserver.com
<Directory /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/common>
Options Indexes
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Or you could just make the symlink directly under your default
DocumentRoot and change the <Directory...> to reflect the new symlink.

Yes. Restart apache when you make changes to the conf files.
