Help with creating symbolic link
- by user1737794
I'm a little bit confused with how the 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 can 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 a image in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/narrowcasting/thumb.
Can anyone give me a tip how to achieve this with a symbolic link?
Thanks in advance.
