http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17401 Symbolic links not handled properly ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-25 16:55 ------- I believe a bug still exists which should be resolved. I was able to implement the work-around referenced by Jess, but it seems to have only resolved half the problem. In the root level of my webapp, I have 2 symbolic links: symlink actual file/directory ---------- --------------------- index.html --> real.index.html docs-dir --> real-docs-dir The work-around mentioned solves the problem with directories -- tomcat is able to recognize that 'docs-dir' is really a symbolic link and successfully display the contents of the files in the actual directory 'real-docs-dir'. However, tomcat is not able to display the document 'index.html' -- for some reason, it knows that 'index.html' is a symlink, but it tries to treat it as a directory entry and not a file entry. Thus, when you try to access the document, tomcat generates a 404 error. So I think there is still a bug in tomcat that needs to be fixed with regard to symlinks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
