Folks:

        I'm clear on the concept of symbolic linking, but in practice 
I seem to be having a problem ...

        I've got a client that screwed up some print advertising and 
listed the wrong directory name. Instead of "/abc", they called it 
"/ABC" (all caps). My "fix" is to create a new (all caps) directory 
and symbolically link that new directory to the correct (all 
lower-case) one. However, I'm doing something wrong.

        I've tried the following command:

                ln -s   abc/index.html   ABC

        The resulting output (ls -l ABC) is ...

                lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     client       14 Sep  3 17:59 
index.html -> abc/index.html

        The creation of the symbolic link seems to have created the 
"index.html" file in "ABC". However, the browser doesn't render this 
link properly. I still get a "Parent Directory" screen when accessing 
"www.client.com/ABC/".

        What am I doing wrong??
