Ubuntu :: Lucid Apache2 Directory Symlink Error "Symbolic Link Not Allowed Or Link Target Not Accessible"

Jun 2, 2010

There is a symlink from /var/www to a personal directory. FollowSymlink and chmod 755 are all set. It works perfectly until each morning I will get a "Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible" error. When I do a "sudo service apache2 restart", the problem will go away.

Ubuntu Networking :: Mount To Vista Needed For Apache - Symbolic Link Not Allowed Or Link Target Not Accessible

Apr 26, 2010

I have a problem where I'm using Ubuntu linux to mount a Windows Vista machine's USB drive and access it on the web using Apache. I did have the USB drive plugged into the Linux machine directly and that was working via the web. FollowSymLinks is on in httpd.conf

[Code]....

The mount works and I can see the files (see above) from my regular linux user account. If I make a test file in /mnt and soft link to that, I can see it on the web. So it's just the mount to the vista machine that seems to be a problem. It's supposed to be a simple read-only mount and the apache login should (I think) be able to see the same generic root access permissions.

log from apache: [Mon Apr 26 20:39:42 2010] [error] [client 99.99.99.99] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/user1/pub_html/Music, referer: https://xx.xx.xx/~user1/music.html

The credentials have a login and password that matches a special read-only account on Vista. I can see the files on the system from Linux, but not via the web. As mentioned above, a different link to the same /mnt area works fine via the web. I've tried several different mount options with no success.

Server :: Symbolic Link Not Allowed When File Is Bigger Than 4GB?

Feb 21, 2010

i contacted my datacenter and they say it is a browser error

but i contact some1 els and he says it isnt a browser error so he asked me to check the log files

this is what i found in my log files

[Sun Feb 21 16:36:01 2010] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Symbolic link not allowed: /home/server/public_html/files/8/9x7s9tjosopkzb/rzr-prot - BoosterKing - .iso as you see , it says not allowed

but for files smaller then 4GB is it fine (i tryed it out to 1 GB files and they are fine )

the script i use is a download script and it creates symbolic links to hide the real location of the file and to limit the download to 1 ip only (its a download script :P)

Programming :: Link Directories - Symlink Not Updated / Hard Link Not Supported?

Sep 6, 2010

In the ordering of files I keep I need links to directories. Sometimes I even need to move directories to new locations. I have tried using symlinks, but they become dead when I move the directory they point to. I have tried hard links, but I haven't found any Linux file system that would support hard linked directories. How can I achieve that a complex structure of directories (currently with symlinks for directories and hard links for files) keep symlinks live when directories are moved?

- is there any utility that updates symlinks when a directory is moved?

- is there any Linux filesystem that supports hard linked directories?

- is there any good Linux interface to the new NTFS (the only file system I know to support automatically updating directory links, called directory junctions)?

General :: Difference Between A Hard Link And Symbolic Link?

Jun 20, 2011

I have searched around and am trying to understand the difference between a hard link and symbolic link (soft link). I found this link is quite useful. But I am still not very clear. I understand soft link is not a copy of original file, but is a hard link a copy or not?

Debian :: Edit Link Target / Edit The Link Target To Force Ip String At End?

Jun 16, 2011

What I am trying to do is edit the link target to force ip=xxxx.xxx.xxx string at end. I have a software program which access 4 different servers running the software but with different configs. In xp I can copy links and modify as above to correctly force the program to the various servers.

I have read the various how tos on hard vs sym links which I get. Playing around with hardlinks and sysmlinks (the examples I find) does not seem to be what I need. Feel like this is pretty basic stuff but I am a bit stumped.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Remove Symbolic Link?

Jul 23, 2011

I created the following symbolic link:

Code:
ln -s /home/vichingo/.gvfs/"media on mybook" /media/mybook

this worked, only now I have a folder media on mybook within the mybook folder.

I wanted to remove this link, but when doing:

Code:
sudo rm /media/mybook/media on mybook

I get:

Code:
rm: cannot remove `/media/mybook/media': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `on': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `mybook': No such file or directory

for some reason I am either unable to remove the link or change the name of the folder to change the spaces into underscores.

Server :: Disable Symbolic Link Ln - S?

May 29, 2011

i made a symbolic link with this ln -s user so the user can view all the folders from ftp no just the home folder but now i see that all the ftp users can see all the folders so they can view everything not just they home folder If someone knows how to apply that just for one user, or the way to disable the link "ln -s" that ive made. I prefer to no one able to see all the folders but if you know how to ddo it for just one user will be good.

General :: Ubuntu Symbolic Link Content Of Folder

Jun 24, 2010

I have two folders such as
nonserved/
folder1/
folder2/

And a served folder via Apache
media/
js/
css/
img/

In the end, I want to include/append contents of /nonserved to /media so that [URL] will be as such:
/media
/js
/css
/img
/folder1
/folder2

I am running Ubuntu Server, I am up for either apache config or symbolic link based answer :) Plus nonserved folder is rather dynamic thus manual symbolic linking to each folder is impossible.

General :: How To Break A Symbolic Link Loop

Feb 2, 2010

While I was trying to compile a C shared object library, I accidentally created two symbolic links which point to each other. Is there a way to get rid of them without nuking the whole directory? I read that the only way to break a symbolic link is to delete the file it points to, but I'm sure there must be another way.

General :: Make A Symbolic Link Read Only?

Feb 2, 2010

Can you make a symlink read only? I have about 100 users who all have a .login. They like to modify their .login, which is fine in most cases, but sometimes they do it wrong & it screws up a LOT of the things they are supposed to be doing. Because of this, I'm going to lock down all .logins & I thought, "wouldn't it be nice if we could modify one file & all users would get the modification?" So I'm currently testing having everyone's .login point to a central .login via symlink. It works fine, but it appears that the users can [re]move the link & replace it with a file, thus defeating the purpose. Can I lock down the symlink so the user cannot move or remove the link? FWIW, it must be a symbolic link (as opposed to a hard link) as the file it points to is on an NFS share (not the same file system).

Programming :: Proposal For Symbolic Link Technology?

Sep 12, 2010

Consider that symbolic links at times can be broken. The target reference can be lost or misplaced. As such, usage of a symbolic link becomes deterred or broken. I propose the following: Symbolic links from now on carry a checksum relating to the original file they are linked to. The original file will carry a property that checks if it has been changed. This property will figure out the new checksum, reconfigure the symbolic link, and continue the symbolic link. Furthermore, if the system were to change, there would exist the possibility of have a symblink-comparison feature that allows the user to check the entire filesystem for files that meet the checksum criteria so that symbolic links can once more be re-established.

Fedora :: Broken Symbolic Link Within A Network Share

Jun 29, 2010

I have 2 PC's running FC11. The server is sharing a path /raid/shared.windows and the other is mounting that path.

On the server there is a symbolic link /raid/shared.windows/dir that points to /raid/dir

The problem is that this link is broken when the viewed from the mount point on the other PC.

Is it possible that the link is trying to look at /raid/dir on the other PC, rather then on the server?

If so how do I fix it, such that the symbolic link is linked to the right directory on the server?
