Enable sym-links in Apache (I know some people recomment against it, but when apache has no special privs it's no real risk). Then create a sym-link between them. If you don't want sym-links then use the --bind option to mount with kernel 2.4.x and create hard-links in the kernel. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
