http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25008 Enable symbolic links: Release notes not clear about "allowLinking" flag. Summary: Enable symbolic links: Release notes not clear about "allowLinking" flag. Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.15 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Native:Integration AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The release notes say: > By default, Unix symlinks will not work when used in a web application > to link resources located outside the web application root directory. > This behavior is optional, and the "allowLinking" flag may be used > to disable the check. This left me wondering where to set that flag. I propose the release notes should be more specific about this. For others like me: Personally, I found some hints on web pages outside the Jakarta side. Now I have removed the commenting around the ROOT stuff in my $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml. The pertinent part of that file now reads: <!-- Tomcat Root Context --> <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"> <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allowLinking="true" /> </Context> This at least allows me to read the Tomcat documentation in my CATALINA_BASE installation, which is a farm of symbolic links to the CATALINA_HOME directory. For the record: This bug refers to http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.15-alpha/RELEASE-NOTES and jakarta-tomcat-5.0.14/RELEASE-NOTES from jakarta-tomcat-5.0.14.tar.gz. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
