0 xison Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Permissions for the symlink inode do not reflect on to where the symlink points to. It would be best to simply copy the GeoIPCity.dat file to somewhere readable by your blesta install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 interfasys Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Permissions are exactly the same, but I'm not sure what is going on as Blesta just says "not found" and doesn't log anything anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your uploads path setting? Make sure it's the full system path. (ie. /home/dom.com/uploads/system/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie. /home/dom.com/uploads/system/) Indeed, I only pasted the end of the path Uploads /home/dom.com/uploads GeoIP Path /home/dom.com/uploads/system/GeoLiteCity.dat The upload folder is reachable since I was able to upload a logo there.

Interesting. I'm going to try this after a bit and report back to see if I have the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ken Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 And my uploads folder is outside of my docroot. I just tested the symlink and it works but it depends on where the file is stored. For example if I put it in something like /root/geo/GeoCityLite.dat and give it proper permissions it doesn't work. If I put it in /geo/GeoCityLite.dat it works. So whatever directory you have it in Blesta isn't being allowed permission to access it through symlink. interfasys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 interfasys Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks for testing I'll check the web server's restrictions regarding symlinks. I think there is a nofollow somewhere... Ken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
