Symbolic link in Ibay with web access
« on: January 11, 2006, 08:32:25 AM »
I have created a symbolic link from one ibay to files inside another in order to give web access to just those files.

I have set the permissions for the new ibay to allow internal no password web access.

Samba users can access the files through the symlink fine, but using a browser and pointing it at the ibay/files/<symlink> in the usual way tells me:

"You don't have permission to access /quotes/files/Quotes/ on this server"

Permisssions on the symlink are set to everyone.

Anyone any idea?
