Hi Jon
I have created a symbolic link for my images and it works fine.
ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink
I have the whole web root of the system root drive
Ex -> /app/mw/images
Created symbolic link off the web root
ln -s /app/images /app/mw/images

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Problem with upload directory outside web root
Hi list users,
I have been through many manuals without finding something useful.
I have a common code base and a couple of sites.
Uploads should be outside the web root. To keep it organized and to save space on the
servers drive.
URL's should not reflect the actual path to the upload directory.
I have tried something like
$wgUploadDirectory = "/home/someuser/mediawiki/files"; $wgUploadPath =
"{IP}/img";
I /can/ upload e.g. an image. I can see it in the list and I can find it in the
automatically generated subdirectory. But when I click on the image link, I get an error
like "The requested URL /usr/local/www/mediawiki/img/4/4f/IMG_4025a.jpg was not found
on this server."
I guess I could solve the problem by using a symlink from the sites images directory to
the other directory. But I think there /should/ be a way to do it by setting the right
options in the LocalSettings.php.
Regards,
Jon Theil Nielsen
