Possible bug then. installadm create-service calls the setup-image script
which has this code.
# Create a link from the AI webserver so that it can accessed by the
client
target_path=`dirname $target`
mkdir -p ${DOCROOT}/$target_path
ln -s $target ${DOCROOT}/$target
(setup-image lives in /usr/lib/installadm)
Does it even create the /var/ai/image-server/images/export/macroroot dir ?
- wondering if the script silently fails somewhere.
