" ln -s /tftpboot/files/shares/http /var/www/html/files "

i am trying to get slax to work on my tftp server ( sme 8 )
i get an error which means that i can't access the 'tftpboot/files/shares/slax/slax' folder.
Slax uses HTTP access to access '/shares/slax/slax/'
it is probably an issue with the apache web server config
-
Does the source path have the correct permissions so that apache can read the files within the path?

Well, you have confused us already here. SME8 does not include a tftp server. And slax (if google and wikipedia are to be believed) is a linux distribution - it cannot run on SME8.

thanks everyone for your input
i seem to be getting there
i need to know if there is a contrib that i can install so that i can create a group or user that i can give rights to my " /tftpboot/files/shares " folder (sme 8)
all i need is the user to have read rights and be able to use ie / firefox to browse to the folder
if not how do i go about it
any help greatly appreciated :-)

Unless I misunderstand you, it should be as simple as putting this share in an ibay and enable web access in server manager.

mary thanks for your reply
ok so i created a ibay called " shares "
group = everyone
User access via file sharing or user ftp = Write=Admin, Read=Everyone
Public access via web or anonymous ftp = Local Network (No Password Required)
Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI) = Disabled
what symbolic link must i now use in order for me to be able to browse to the " /tftpboot/files/shares " folder using ie or firefox
-
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/shares/html/
rm index.html
ln -s /tftpboot/files/shares/* ./
should work, not tested (I mean, I'm sur it will work, but I don't know/remember if you can browse the folder content)

Are you referring to the folders installed by this contrib ?
http://wiki.contribs.org/Tftp_server
What is the full path of /tftpboot/files/shares on your server ?
I am thinking/suggesting that you can create an alias by using the 92foo template fragment from here
http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_RPM
and the 80OptDomainfoo template fragment from here
http://wiki.contribs.org/Talk:Web_Application_Redirect_Tutorial
modified accordingly of course, and with appropriate db entries and mysql databases
to create an alias that points at your share folder location.
I tried both those with /opt/foo and /opt/foofoo and they work OK, without disrupting server manager (at least for virtual domains).
Alternatively to the 80OptDomainfoo fragment, you can look at the 20IbayContent template fragment from here
