Batch adding Sym linked files not working

[slowwwdown]

Hello.

I'm trying to sync Coppermine 1.4.3 with files resident on my iPhoto filesystem.  What I'd like to do is symlink the files to save on disk space and have access to them with both apps.   Any ideas or suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks!


This unlinked file takes to the upload process fine...

$ ls -l ~/Sites/cpg143/albums/sync/iphoto_test.jpg
-rw--w--w-   1 joeclayp  admin  1276719 Mar  1 22:20 ~Sites/cpg143/albums/sync/iphoto_test.jpg

But ones like this do not...

$ ls -l ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/mac_linux.jpg
-rw--w--w-   1 joeclayp  admin  9321 Feb 16 22:28 ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/mac_linux.jpg
$ ls -l ~/Sites/cpg143/albums/sync/mac_linux.jpg
lrwxr-xr-x   1 joeclayp  admin  53 Mar  1 22:10 ~/Sites/cpg143/albums/sync/mac_linux.jpg -> ~/Pictures/Wallpapers//mac_linux.jpg

Version info here...

Darwin Kernel Version 8.5.0
PHP Version 4.3.11
Coppermine 1.4.3

Hmmm. I had a thought.  Maybe it's that my apache install won't all these files to be read as they're not under my ~/Sites folder.  You'll have to excuse me.  I'm a new to the whole web server thing.  More to come...

Another thought:  should I even be taking this route?  maybe someone has good sugesstion on how to sync these file systems to share the pics between the two apps?  otherwise I'll need to script out something to build the links for CPG when I load new files via iPhoto.

[slowwwdown]

Now I'm stuck.  Appears it wasn't an issue with the directories apache will let CPG see.  Can anyone comment on how the batch upload process handles symbolic links or help point me in the right direction?

Directory permissions...

$ ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxrwx    3 root      admin   102 Mar  1 23:10 edit
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root      admin  1375 Nov 25 08:11 index.php
drwxrwxrwx   34 joeclayp  admin  1156 Mar  2 10:14 sync
drwxrwxrwx   14 joeclayp  admin   476 Mar  1 21:42 testfolder
drwxrwxrwx    4 root      admin   136 Mar  1 23:10 userpics

This file uploads fine...

$ ls -l testfolder/img161.jpg
-rw-r--r--   1 joeclayp  admin  989276 Feb 23 23:04 testfolder/img161.jpg

This file shows in the "Select directory" pane, but not in the "List of new files" pane after I select the sync folder...

$ ls -l sync/img161.jpg
lrwxr-xr-x   1 joeclayp  admin  21 Mar  2 10:14 sync/img161.jpg -> testfolder/img161.jpg

For the record I set the config as outlined in the troubleshooting doc and here is the resulting debug stuff...

Thanks in advance.  I work at company that was founded on open source code and really appreciate what it is everyone does here.  My problems here are with my personal machine and not an urgent matter.  Please take your time and let me know what you think.

[Nibbler]

I'm not clear on what you are linking to where and how. I can make a symlink from the albums dir to another dir on my machine and all works as expected. Coppermine isn't aware of the symlink since it is handled on a much lower level.

[slowwwdown]

Ok.  I'll dig deeper on my end then and let y'all know what I come up with.  Many thanks.

[slowwwdown]

OK.  I've got it now.  I had to adjust the permissions on the directory structure I was seeing through the link. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

###  So I built this link....

ln -s ~/Pictures/ albums/sync2

###  Then did this so I could pull up all the jpegs form the linked dirs...

cd ~/Pictures
find ./ -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find ./ -name *.jpg -exec chmod 666 {} \;

### ...and now there is joy throughout the land.
