hi ,

I am having 2 RHEL boxes , both with apache running on it (server1,server2).
How can i check the availability of a file in the second server from the first one?
I tried http://server2/images/myfile but got no response.
myfile is in another drive.

the situation is,
/dev/hdc1 /
/dev/sdb1 /files
server2 DocumentRoot=> /var/www/html/mysite
myfile resides in =>/files/pictures/myfilefolder
I have a soft link /var/www/html/mysite/images => /files/pictures/myfilefolder

Here i want to check a particular file present in server2 ant get it from server2 if present.


Thanks in advance,
biju

Check your Apache configuration. There's an option that doesn't allow symbolic links. Which error do you get when trying to access the files?

hi,

Thanks for the reply

I tried it and the "Symbolic link not allowed error" disappeared.
Now i have some permission problem.
Hope i can sort out that.


Thanks,
biju
