Cannot Create a Symbolic Link

[Honey.]

Hello,

I am facing a problem while symlimking my DataBase.db.The problem is that the file is not symlinked correctly therefore leaving my webstats page with a line "Database doesn't exist."When i create a symbolic link the file appears like this :



This is the image of the console :



The Line I am using to Create a Symlink : ln -s /root/efe/efe/Files/DataBase.db /var/www/html/stats/DataBase.db

My webstats Page : http://webhost.efe-vcmp.tk/stats/

[Honey.]

Bump!

[thijn]

First of all. Don't ever run the server as root. For fucks sake people. This is common sense.
Second, that should work fine. As you can see from the ls command it is symlinked, and should have the correct permissions. Make sure you have the name right in your config file, it is case sensitive.

I think that my config file is okay.You can check it yourself :

I don't know where MadKiller's script wants the database, but I see your stats_url is wrongly copied.

If you're okay with permissions, you can just put /root/efe/efe/Files/DataBase.db in that variable. It should work atleast, I don't know how his script works.

[Honey.]

Still says the same thing.I tried to change the Database route to /root/efe/efe/Files/DataBase.db but it still didn't work.My permissions are okay.IDK what causes this problem.I've faced this problem once before but it automatically got fixed over time.

[soulshaker]

in ssh console try this:-

Code: [Select]

cd /var/www/html/stats
ln -s /root/efe/efe/Files/DataBase.db
if everything in your config file is correct, webstats will be up

[Honey.]

Nah, Still the same error :/

[soulshaker]

well try the files i gave you, and it will work like THIS

[thijn]

Place this in a new file and post a link to the file here:

Code: [Select]

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


[Honey.]

http://107.182.186.206/info.php

[thijn]

That seems fine, you can remove that file now.


Go to your server directory (the one which should have your database file, and scripts), and post the output of ls -lha

[Honey.]

ls -lha of my Server Dir :



ls -lha of my Database Directory :

[Gudio]

Symbolic link to the /root directory.


You should never use Linux.
Ensure you have unloaded SymLinksIfOwnerMatch and loaded FollowSymLinks.

[Honey.]

What are you talking about?I've never heard of  SymLinksIfOwnerMatch and FollowSymLinks.
