Hi,

I have a folder stucture:
DRUPAL-ROOT
- files (access: apache rwx access)
- sites
- default
-files
-files (ln -s ../../../files access: apache rwx access)
so if I go in the browser to the "sites/default/files/files/" then I get files from the rootfolder "files"
but when I configure IMCE to use the folder sites/default/files/files I get the message access denied.

I don't know what to do, and don't find specific errors just the one in the drupal log:
Details

Doorverwijzer
Bericht Access to files was denied.
Zwaartte fout
Hostnaam x.x.x.x

Can someone help me?
Thx in advance

Symlinks under the file directory path won't work. Though, the file directory path can be a symlink.
sites/default/files can point to files.

@ufku

I have the below structure and need your advice to achieve the expected. I am not able to upload the files to linked path that has below structure.

drwxrwsr-x /var/www/html/drupal/sites/default/files
lrwxrwxrwx /var/www/html/drupal/sites/default/files/images -> /var/www/html/images/(drwxrwsr-x )

But I am able to create a sub-directory through IMCE in /var/www/html/drupal/sites/default/files/images

Eg:
created /var/www/html/drupal/sites/default/files/images/new (drwxrwxr-x), But not able to upload files to it.

So you mean, I can directly create a symlink for this path /var/www/html/drupal/sites/default/files ?

Is there a way to patch the module in order to allow symlinks under a directory path?
