I'm confused with how symbolic links work. I hope someone can guide me in the right direction.
I want to put a demo online from our software, which normally only runs locally on a Mac Mini. So I put all the files in the var/www
from my Ubuntu 12.04 server installation.
There are a lot of hardcoded links in the software which point to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/narrowcasting
Of course, I could change all these code on my html/php
files in /var/www
, but that would be quite annoying. I hope I can fix this by creating a symbolic link. For example, I have a directory called thumb in /var/www/thumb. The PHP code is trying to put an image in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/narrowcasting/thumb
.
Can anyone give me a tip how to achieve this with a symbolic link?
