media folder doesn't accept symbolic links for files

[josemvm]

message: no media file in the specified path

hi @josemvm can you be more explicit ?

[josemvm]

hi rldhont!,

i have my installation on linux.

if i set this link "media/SGO.pdf" in Lizmap plugin/Layers/Selected item settings/Link, the Open documentation for the layer works fine.

if the SGO.pdf isn´t a real file but represented by a symbolic link this error message appears "no media file in the specified path" and de SGO.pdf document will not open.

thanks

We can't reproduce your issue. Lizmap uses Jelix who uses file_get_contents to read files content. It's probably due to a PHP or Apache configuration.

ok @rldhont,

i have another sites and another frameworks for web applications in the same server which use "FollowSymLinks" too.

in my case:

• file system: /var/www/lizmap3/lizmap/install/ma/media/pdf pdf folder is symbolic link to -> /var/www/pmapper/c_prediais/pdf
• table field contents: media/pdf/R-GAFSAB-F-4.pdf

if the pdf folder is not a symbolic link but a real folder evething works fine...

[rldhont]

So it's the directory that is a sym link.

[josemvm]

yes, i'm sorry @rldhont,

it's the directory that is a sym link not the media file.

[rldhont]

I reproduced the issue!

thanks @rldhont
