[SOLVED] Symlink on public folder

konzo · 07-22-2010, 09:17 AM

I have to make sym link of phpmyadmin in /var/www in order to run phpmyadmin. I read that links can't be chmod-ed. The link ot folder phpmyadmin has 777 permissions. When browse in it every file has only read and for the root read/write access.

Is that a problem (777 access rights on sym link phpmyadmin on /var/www folder)?

no it's just a symlink. The actual linked object may not be modified if that's not permitted via it's mode and ownership.
