[solved] Symlinking directories

[Banana Lord.]

I want to sync the contents of /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/cache/*.dua to /home/bananatree/html/redirect/cache/. I did symlink it, but it kept reporting a 404 file not found error - did I miss something?

maybe permission issue.
check
#ls -ald /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/cache
#ls -ald /home/bananatree/html/redirect/cache

ln -s /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/cache/*.dua /home/bananatree/html/sdb/redirect/cache/

ok. how about the parent directories' permission?
#ls -ald /home/
#ls -ald /home/banana/
#ls -ald /home/banana/srcds/
#ls -ald /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/
#ls -ald /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/

looks like permissions ok. what url return 404 error for example(you can omit the domain name)?

what do you mean? Do you want the full URL of where the file should be?

[NiteWave]

full URL is ok, if you think ok to paste here.
or just replace the domain name as domain.com etc.
