After searching stackoverflow and Google for the past hour I thought I would ask. If the title does not make sense here is what I am looking to achieve.
/var/www/xxx/
Say there are files in this above directory.
/var/www/yyy/
I want the files found in directory xxx to be symbolically linked within directory yyy. I cannot figure out how to get the symbolic links to work as such:
/var/www/yyy/filefromfolderxxx.html
as opposed to what I keep getting:
/var/www/yyy/xxx/filefromfolderxxx.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try this:
cd /var/www/xxx
for a in * ; do ln -s /var/www/xxx/$a /var/www/yyy/$a ; done
This will symlink all the files one-by-one.
It's a bit messy, though. If you have multiple sites sitting on the same codebase but requiring different configuration files, you should really teach your framework how co-ordinate that for you. It's not really difficult, but does require more thinking than I can spare for this reply, I'm sorry.
