Hi, it seems that I have the following issue when trying to create a
symbolic link within a script:

FROM COMMAND LINE: The owner is set to myself. Thus, it works.

FROM WEB PAGE: It doesn't work as expected.

I know that it runs as one user at the command line and a different
user from the web page. Thus, is it possible to do the following
within the script:

o switch to the correct user
o create the symbolic link
o switch back web page user

BTW, I was using the following command:

exec ( "ln -s " . dirname( SITE_ROOT ) . "/common_directory/* " .
dirname( SITE_ROOT ) . "/new_directory" );

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad
