[Mapserver-users] Symbolic link

[Steve Lime]

I've not run into that one. We use sym links all over the place and have
had no trouble. Are
you sure the layers are queryable (i.e. there is a template)?

Hmm, strange things happening here. We are working on a Linux machine
and 
had lately to add another hard disk. As our MMS application was running

nicely with a few selected data sets on the old disk, we now just
created a 
new data folder on the new disk, put up a symbolic link directing from
the 
old data folder to the new one, and filling that one up with our data
sets. 
Now, weird thing: The application is still running smoothly, loading
all 
files correctly; but when I try to make a query on the shapefiles, I
get 
zero results. It seems as if MMS can't access the shapefiles via the 
symbolic link for querying.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Stefan
