Dear uberdrupals,
I'm currently working on getting a drupal multisite setup. Its installed on a windows 2008 server with apache, php and mysql. Didn't know where to ask this question and search a long time for it but didn't find any answers concerning this problem, hope someone could help me... My client wants to have a centralized files directory. I was thinking about doing this with symlinks as of windows vista this is possible with windows using mklink. All well I setup drupal by setting up files directory on every multisite placing the images in the sites/default/files this files directory is a symlink to another drive and directory E:\files. This all works well it makes a symlink.
In drupal I've made a image upload field for a page node. and I'm creating a new page. I select the Image and push upload. everything goes well it uploads the image by the ways of the symlink. but wenn I save the node it instantly deletes the symlink of the files directory. The image still exists in the E:\files (target directory).
Could someone help me get a solution for my problem, please help me...
Thanks in advance...
