Stories similar to Creating local yum repo correctly

I used the following to create a symbolic link

ln -s /var/www/example.com/target/public_html faker

When I use readfile faker it shows the correct link but when I navigate through FileZilla it take me to /var/www/example.com/target/ and not public_html

My web app is not going to the correct folder either.

I'm trying to create a symbolic link on a NAS which points to another location on the same NAS.

I was creating a read-only root filesystem for use in an embedded system. I successfully got the system to boot after setting it to read-only initially, but then I needed write access to another file (/etc/hostname). I tried creating a symbolic link, like I did with /etc/fstab and /etc/resolv.conf, but the system fails to boot all the way - I have to boot into recovery mode and undo the change.

Can someone help create a symbolic link where I append my own string to the name of the link?

I use rsync (rsync-3.0.6-5.el6_0.1.x86_64 on Scientific Linux 6) to transfer files from a VFAT disk to an NFS mounted ext3 file system. I have ACLs set up on the ext3 system and all works as expected when i.e. creating new files or dirs (through the NFS mount, via command line or Nautilus).

Say under directory /usr/local/boost_1_52_0/stage/lib, I have a symbolic link: libboost_timer.so, which points to the regular file libboost_timer.so.1.52.0 in the same directory.

How can I cp the symbolic links to directory /usr/local/lib while pointing to the same file /usr/local/boost_1_52_0/stage/lib/libboost_timer.so.1.52.0.

I have searched and tried several options.

Hello,

I'm having a problem getting a program to run from /etc/init.d/rc.local. I can run my script manually once the system has booted.
