WampServer

Hi There

I am trying to run a website that has symbolic links to other files on my hard drive but I cannot get it to work:

So test.localhost.com points to c:\wamp\www\test
in c:\wamp\www\test\ I have created symbolic links to web directories in c:\wamp\www\test2\

When I try to open a php file in my browser (test.localhost.com/test.php) that exists in c:\wamp\www\test2\ I get the error:

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/wamp/www/test/test.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0

It all looks fine in DOS/Windows Explorer. This is on Vista and the symbolic links were made using mklink.
Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions as to why it is failing?

Thanks.

symbolic links?

you need to use apaches vhost module to do this....

this will like a url to a folder

I've discovered it was a bug in php5.3.

If I use php5.2 then it works fine.

Thanks for the answer.
Yeah, vh was setup fine.
It was a PHP issue. PHP5.3 doesn't like symbolic links in Windows; like I said, rolled back to 5.2.11 and all works fine.

Thanks for posting your solution, nefilim. They've finally fixed this bug in the 5.4.11 version of PHP: [www.php.net]
