or just replace the domain name as domain.com etc.

EDIT: The owner of that file is "root", not "banana" or "nobody", I'm assuming that's the issue?

[NiteWave]

maybe. the file's permission ?
#ls -ald /home/bananatree/html/redirect/cache/6afa5cc7a1de5a0df435669c6fc2a09b.dua
#ls -ald /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/cache/6afa5cc7a1de5a0df435669c6fc2a09b.dua

Woah wait, those are two different files. Now it's like it's not symlinking them, did I not symlink it correctly?

[NiteWave]

maybe you can create a directory link only, not many file links
instead of:

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

just do:
#rm -rf /home/bananatree/html/sdb/redirect/cache/
#ln -s /home/banana/srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/cache/ /home/bananatree/html/sdb/redirect/cache/

still a 404

please put a file into redirect/cache and see if still 404.
$touch /home/bananatree/html/sdb/redirect/cache/abc
and check:
http://bananatree.im/sdb/redirect/cache/abc

that works

so do the other 2 caches that i'm using on a heavy traffic gameserver, it's just the symlinked ones. should I sudo -u banana the symlink? will that make the owners match?

please try it
