apache new folder link

zeky · 09-01-2002, 04:45 AM

Hello!

i have running apache in my /usr/local/apache folder (root of my web). Now, becuase I don't have any more free space left (on my hdd) i want to put in my apache folder a link to the mounted folder that has a lot more free space. So that when i click to that folder (thrue web interface) it'll show me the contents of that folder. Is this possible?

I hope i was clear enought.

just make a symlink and check the access permissions, that should work!

what about the file system rights? does the apache user have access to the directory you have created that symlink to?
