I know this has to do with a permissions issue on OS X server, but where and how do set permissions (Server App). I think it may have something to do with _www user having Read rights, but cannot Add this user and set permissions in Server App 4.

I do have the CasperShare sym link created in: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/

This is pointing to a separate volume / share on OS X server. Thx in advance

Instead of Symlink, try creating an Alias. Also, by default Yosemite server will auto redirect HTTP to HTTPS, so be sure to either get a 3rd party certificate or disable the redirect.
