Symlinks can most easily be described as being like "shortcuts" in windows. For example my /www/Typo3 folder is not a folder at all, but a symlink to typo3_src/typo3, and typo3_src itself is a symlink to /www/source/typo3_src-4.1.3
There are quite a few symlinks in a typo3 install, I suggest googling for some more information on how to create symlinks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joel zimmerli Sent: 13 December 2007 12:31 To: TYPO3 English Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [TYPO3] Re : Backup / restore problem with Typo3 Hi Bernd, I'm not a Unix specialist at all but my point of view is that the problem is related to either a privilege or a symlinks problem. Everything (file, extension) are in place under the right directories, the "writing" privileges is defined on the expected directories, so symlinks seems to be the best issue. What is a symlinks and what am I supposed to define for Typo3?

Does your backup/restore have enough rights to read and write all the files? the list of installed extensions is stored in typo3conf/localconf.php the (local) extensions are stored in subdirectories of typo3conf/ext/ is your handling of symlinks correct? just some thaughts Bernd -- http://www.pi-phi.de/t3v4/cheatsheet.html _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list TYPO3-english@lists.netfielders.de http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
