Hello,
on
http://www.s9y.org/41.html is written:
Code: Select all
$ ln -s -d /usr/local/lib/php/s9y/templates /home/www/garvin.s9yblogs.org/htdocs/templates
manpage says:
Code: Select all
-d, -F, --directory
Allow the super-user to make hard links to directories.
-s, --symbolic
Make symbolic links instead of hard links.
-s or -d? hard ord symbolic links?
So, doing this on a remote server with php-script:
symlink() or link()?

Hi!
I always use "-s -d" and it works.
Best regards,
Garvin

ok, I take symlink(), ont the first sight, it works. But on the second ...
I make a dir "joseph" parallel to "s9y". I copy alls deplyoment-files. I make a symbol-link for templates and htmlarea.
I get most of teh template to display, but not the template-images.
When I try to look at one of the images directly, i get:
Code: Select all
You don't have permission to access /templates/joseph01/img/right_header-kirche4.png on this server.
This is my joseph-dir:
Code: Select all
lrwxrwxrwx 1 30 8 16 Nov 27 23:23 templates -> ../s9y/templates
drwxrwxrwx 2 717 717 4096 Nov 27 23:22 templates_c
Is there anything wrong?
FYI: my s9y-dir:
Code: Select all
drwxrwxrwx 36 717 717 4096 Nov 26 17:28 templates
drwxrwxrwx 2 717 717 8192 Nov 27 00:33 templates_c
BTW, the same error occurs for the preview-images in the style-selector, but of course only for the local themes like
http://joseph.hweb24test.ok-webhost08.d ... review.png
the nettmirror-images are fine.
And I have a second installation like joseph (=no core-files, only deployment), but I make a copy of templates, no link; this works fine.

Hi!
A permission denied often means that your webserver does not FollowSymlinks in some cases?
I never used PHP symlink, I always only use Linux-Bash/SSH symlink creation.
Best regards,

great answer!
"Options +FollowSymLinks" in the .htaccess helps very much!
BTW, I found out, that the both link/copy-statements are not enough:
things like
http://host.example/plugins/serendipity ... icpage.png
(the edit_staticpage-image for the wikilinks)
or
<script type="text/javascript">var lightbox_path = "/plugins/serendipity_event_lightbox/lightbox_plus";</script>
do not work on shared installations!
There must be a link to /plugins, too!
