I have a directory full of symlinks. I want to zip them as if there were the real files. If I just zip them as usual, the resulting zip file does not contain the files at all! Is there any way to do this?
View 3 RepliesNot sure this is appropriate here but wondering if one has advantage over other in terms of sharability?
Also is it possible to upload files through symlinks? ie put a simlink to a tar ball located elsewhere on filesystem than ubuntu one/dropbox folder.
I just got a new server dedicated running php5 and SUExec. I understand the concept. INstead of running as "nobody", PHP scripts run as the user of that website. This also means I don't have to have some special directory where I set permissions to 775 or 770 with group=nobody etc just to upload files via PHP .. since PHP will upload files just as the user would using FTP. OK, great so far, and more security, I'm all for it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is a safe and reliable way of converting symlinks to directories to hardlinks? Basically I have a bunch of files in a directory tree under directory A, and I have in another directory B a set of symlinks to the original site. I would like all the files to end up in B and A to be empty. The links are all to directories, not to files, so the soft2hard script here won't work.
I don't have enough free diskspace to copy the files from A to B so I thought that converting the softlinks to hard links and then removing directory A would work? There are many directories, so would like to do it automatically if at all possible.
(In case anyone is intrigued, the issue is with my maildir directory. I used to use kmail, but with the move to kmail2 it became buggy and virtually unusable with large amounts of mail and I had to find another solution. I now use dovecot with gnus and mutt as MUA to access the maildirs. kmails maildirs are non-standard (!), so with the help of a script I found online, I created ~/dovecot and in it put symlinks to all the maldirs under ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail. The problem with this is if I accidentally start kmail it will try to access that directory and mess up all my tags, so I want to completely move all my mail from ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail to ~/dovecot, but without messing up all my tags etc.)
I'm hosting some sites on a dedicated server. All these sites make use of the same codebase (couple of directories with php and javascript files). Because I want to manage this codebase on only one location, I was trying to share it via symlinks. When looking at commandline, everything seemed to work fine. However, when browsing to the sites that use the codebase, problems occur. It seems as if php cannot find the files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe recently upgraded our Samba server from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12. After the upgrade, when users connect to a Samba share from their Windows PCs, they can no longer see the symlinks in the share like they used to under Fedora 10.We are using the same smb.conf file as under Fedora 10, so I'm not sure what has changed.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthe hard drive on my web server died so I replaced it and installed Fedora 15. I have been installing the OS on a small drive and then mounting other drive(s) for storage and did the same thing here. The problem is that I cannot get Apache to follow symlinks. Apache is partially working, it will serve my index.html page in the web page root directory and I made another directory called webtest and put some files in, and that worked fine. I made a symlink from the root directory to a folder on the mounted drive but when I try to access it, it gives me the old 403 Forbidden error. I also made a similar link in the webtest directory, I can view the other files in that directory but it does not show the link - also, trying to force it by typing the full path in the browser gives the same 403 error.
I have checked the permissions and SELinux types (using ls -Z) and they seem to be fine and I cannot find any .htaccess files. All the files on the mounted drive are owned by www:www but I also tried setting the user and group to www in httpd.conf and it still gave the same issue, so I changed them back to apache. I've been reading posts and sites on this for hours now and I'm still lost. I can post results of log files if they are of any use, I just wasn't sure what to post because it is somewhat working.
I have configured apache on my Centos 5.2 and it is working well. I want to have a sym link of my docs directory in /root/ in the apache root directory. I used ln -s command to create this sym link. But when I tried to access this I get the following error:
You don't have permission to access /docs on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
How can I access this directory in apache. i use apache 2.0.63.

I have installed linux on a virtual machine in Oracle VM VirtualBox because I want to run linux while running windows at the same time. I was wondering if there is any difference between a real linux system and a virtual one for learning purposes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOn my machine I currently have 2 internal HD's - sata 3 & running in ahci mode. The bios confirms that they are running at 6G/s. For typical every day use, running apps & such, all seems fine & the machine seems speedy. But when I go to transfer large folders, (20G+) I'm only seeing 70M/s top speed, with 20 to 40 being the norm. (Shoot, I got 20M/s transferring to a usb 2.0 drive.) It doesn't matter if this is from partition to partition on the same drive (A or B) or between drives, or the direction.
So my question is, shouldn't this be giving a LOT faster speeds? Even if the drives ARE at the low end of the speed chart, per say? (WD CAVIAR BLUE 500G & 250G 7200RPM) This also doesn't matter what OS's I'm using either. Also, what ARE the the real world speeds on this? What are YOU ALL getting?

what the recommended way to set up real-time (or near real-time) folder synchronization among 2+ servers. I looked a rsync but that doesn't sound real-time and it looks like its something that you might put in a cron once an hour.

I'm using a fedora install mainly for audio work and have everything working well out of the box. My setup is simple:
-Direct cable from Guitar 1/4" > Sound Card input>Rakarrack Guitar Effects>Ardour>System Out
(Occasionally I put a synth/plugin like Zynaddsubfx or jackrack before or after rakarrack depending on what sound I'm going for)
-Jack for all audio transport with synthesizers
I have real time support with Jack and all other programs except Rakarrack. When I launch Rakarrack in the terminal, I get this message:
Code:
rakarrack 0.6.1 - Copyright (c) Josep Andreu - Ryan Billing - Douglas McClendon - Arnout Engelen
Try 'rakarrack --help' for command-line options.
Cannot lock down memory area (Cannot allocate memory)
Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/15)(1: Operation not permitted)
AcquireRealTime error
However, running rakarrack in root does not display this output, and I assume it has no problem getting real-time scheduling in that case. I did some google searches but the only similar issues that I find are that people can't get RT support in jack except in my instance, I do have RT scheduling with jack, but for some reason I can't get it in rakarrack unless I'm root.
[Edit] I actually have to run jackd and rakarrack in root to get rakarrack to use real time scheduling. But, it isn't necessary for any other jack compatible program that I know of. I'm actually not getting any real time scheduling with any jack application, even though Jack is reporting to be running in Real Time. However, running everything in root fixes the issue even though I would prefer to not have to run as root.
I started to have a particular problem with my hard drivers, I can hear how they do a weird noise, like the one that a hard disk does when you start your PC, but it's very often once per second while I use my computer, if the computer is idle nothing happens. Sometimes it says that the error it is on ata3, sometimes it is on ata5

What could be the problem? I have 4 SATA disks, in 2 of these disks I have in each one a partition of 250 GB and are mirror under mdadm as raid1. What about the names ata3 ata5 which are the real disks affected?
Not sure what else to call it. My softlinks are not updating to reflect the parent/linked folder-files.
Code:
ln -s /folder/* /home/user/Music
This produces what I want. However, if I make any changes to /folder/, I dont see a reflected change in the links at /home/usr/Music.
A added plus would be to be able to use folder/file thumbnails from the source directory on the symlinks. Are sym links just shortcuts or are they real links to the directory (dynamic).
i am not sure if this hardware section is the proper place to put this question but my problem is like this. I want to record headphone mic input in a local file every time my system boots up and broadcast the real-time audio or rather multicast it through local LAN

I recently tried the package "pysdm" to mount a data partition but didn't care for the way it handled things so I opted for editing fstab which I'm much more satisfied with.I did then purge pysdem and it's config files but something lingered, finally I got things working by using a UUID designation in fstab but I know there's an old symlink to a /dev/sdb7 that has since been deleted and later recreated with a new UUID.
I have "googled" enough to find that the package "fslint" should be able to handle this but since one gui got me in trouble I'm reluctant to use another, I'd prefer just being able to find where symlinks live and ripping them out by the short hairs
What is the syntax if you want to create a symlink to a resource on a mounted drive? am I missing something?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a "backup" of my .wine folder by copying it to my network attached storage drive. Now, that folder thinks it has about 200gb of data! Specifically, it's the .wine/dosdevices folder. I didn't grasp that Wine had created some kind of hard links to my ~ folder on my Ubuntu box. Since that folder is clearly recursively linking to all my files, I'm afraid to just delete it. I did delete one file within it as a test and, sure enough, the original file back on my Ubuntu box disappeared!how can I delete the .wine "backup" folder I created on my NAS without deleting all the original files?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried to run one grep that excludes symlinks and pipe it into a second that searches for my pattern but I continue to get the recursive directory loop error. As a result (I think) my grep is incomplete as the search just loops between directories symlinked together.
