(SOLVED) Images doesn't save in media folder

ruth_rmgv

Hi,

I'm creating an object and I'm associating images. The images are visible in Providence with status completed and public access. When I view Pawtucket the image doesn't appear, I see an error in the browser console informing me that the image isn't on the server. When I go to the server, the image hasn't really been saved. When I save to Providence, no error appears.

In the configuration file global.conf in Pawtucket, I have the following:

ca_media_url_root = <ca_url_root>/media/<app_name>

ca_media_root_dir = <ca_base_dir>/media/<app_name>

The files are organized on the server as follows:

/var/www/ca/providence/pawtucket/media

Do you know what that might be?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I already solve. It needed to create a symbolic link from the Providence folder to the Pawtucket folder. I executed the following command:

cd pawtucket<o:p></o:p>sudo ln -s /var/www/ca/providence/media

hi, i too am having this problem, but when i go to run the above command i get the following message:

effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?any idea what to do next? i am working from MacOS terminal SSH into Bluehost

I made this little utility to help manage the links to the media directory on a shared server I'm using.  It resolves my lack of command line access.  Maybe useful?Bruce

Are you trying without sudo?

ln -s /var/www/ca/providence/media

Hi Ruth,

When I tried without sudo, this is what I received: "file exists"

not sure if that means it worked?  have a feeling thats not what it means, haha. I had created an empty media/collectiveaccess folder under pawtucket in order to get it up and running, maybe i should delete that?

Try symlinking the "collectiveaccess" directory within. Or remove that empty "media" directory in Pawtucket and then try symlinking the "media" directory from Providence again. Either way should work.

alexandradm ,

Do you have a media folder in Providence? Hope so (providence/media)

You should now go to the pawtucket folder:cd pawtucketIn this folder there should not be a media folder. This is where the symbolic link must be created, creating a link from the providence/media folder to the pawtucket/media

sudo ln -s /var/www/ca/providence/mediaEverything that is saved in the providence/media folder will appear in pawtucket/media. This works as a shortcut
