Lampp -symbolic Links Give 403

November 28th, 2009 Comments off

I installed the ‘Automatic stores generation’ extension for the Multi-Stores add-on of OsCommerce. http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1730

Everything seems to work fine, except.. the copied stores are giving this 403 error with every filename:

“Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /new-store-dir/ on this server.”

The filenames are soft links to the ‘master store’ “minimal”.

Adding ‘Options +FollowSymLinks’ to .htaccess had no effect. The server owners said they had this option enabled as well.

So maybe I’m missing an obvious thing, I’m not an expert in this field.

Please only apply if you have experience with these kinds of things, I can’t use too much experimentation. In a pm, let me know why I should let you do this.

Symbolic Links

I need some one to fix some symbolic links on my web site.

I have two websites that share a database and some files. One site is the “master site” and has many images, documents, and video clips saved there. The other site is the “secondary site” and it uses symbolic links to get the files from the “master site”. Both web sites are community membership sites so members can upload, save, and view files from both sites even though the images are always saved to the “master site”.

There are several symbolic links pointing to directories on the “master site”. Someone deleted one of the symbolic links and now the files are being saved directly to the “secondary site” and not the “master site”. I need you to create a new symbolic link to save the files to the “master site”.

Then I would like you to check over the other existing symbolic links to make sure they are set up correctly.

Both web sites are community membership sites so members can upload, save, and view files from both sites even though the images are always saved to the “master site”.

Something happened and now the files are not being saved on some parts of the “secondary site”.

It might be a permissions setting because I get an error message saying:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /actors/pub_pic/14974-1s.jpg on this server.

So something happened to reset or change the permissions. Or something broke the hard or soft links. I need someone to look at the settings and make any necessary changes to fix the symbolic links so you can once again view, upload, and save images to the “master site” through the symbolic links and the “secondary site”.

Fix Symbolic Links Error

I am having trouble with my symbolic links. I have two websites that share a database and some files. One site is the “master site” and has many images saved there. The other site is the “secondary site” and it uses symbolic links to get the images from the “master site”. Both web sites are community membership sites so members can upload, save, and view images from both sites even though the images are always saved to the “master site”.

Something happened and now the images are not being shown on the “secondary site”. The thumbnail images are showing up as broken. If you try to view one of the images in a browser window by itself, you get an error message saying:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /actors/pub_pic/14974-1s.jpg on this server.
