Post subject: | Serving a folder of images |
I downloaded and installed TWG ... and have it working. My intention was to be able serve-up my existing archive of family photos and vidoes ... which are all stored on an attached NAS device ... with a mapped drive. Ideally, I'd like to simply "point" TWG at this folder, and let it do it's work. But -- for obvious reasons -- I would also like TWG to access it in read-only mode -- making all thumbnails and such on the local drive/cache system. Is this possible?? Thank you!! bdr |

Normally you can link to this folder. But it has to be a relative path or a sym link. if a relative path does work the images are already outside the webroot so no one can access them. with a link you can add a .htaccess files which prevents reading from outside. Best, Michael |

Best, Michael Thank you Michael, But, I am very new to this environment. So, I'm not sure how I would even accomplish what you are suggesting. Can you provide an example/syntax?? Thank you!! |

Which operating system do you use? Google is a good source how to create such a link... Best, Michael |

I'm trying the same thing. The symbolic link to my folder isn't working. TWG doesn't even process it. I've changed the .htaccess file to include Options +FollowSymLinks at the top but it's still not seeing it. In addition relative links aren't working either. I can go up a few directories but then the system crashes when I've put in ../../../media/ Lubuntu 15.x |

Figured out the issue, I had to change the permissions for one of the folders in the path to the folder. This is an annoying Apache thing I think. I ran Code: namei -m /media/dave/driveQuatro/Shared/Photos/ to get the permissions for all my directoriesCode: drwxr-xr-x / drwxr-xr-x media drwxr-x--- dave drwxrwxrwx driveQuatro drwxrwxrwx Shared drwxrwxrwx Photos I had to change the dave folder with chmod 755 to get the links to work. This have dave the read and execute permission that it needed. |
