SOLVED Folder www removed

[Peoplespaces]

Hi:

I have a client who removed his www folder. I reinstalled it and did a one page publish but nothing happens. www folder remains empty.
Suggestions?

www is a symbolic link
remove it and add

cd /home/user

ln -s public_html www

Thanks for this. I did it and the folder appears and is populated but I still get an error 'You don't have permission to access / on this server.'
There must be something else he deleted as well.

Did you do it as the user or as root ?
remove and do it as the user
su username then run the command

Hello @Peoplespaces,

The information in the previous post is correct. Ensure you create the symbolic link while logged in via SSH as the account username.

Thank you.

Got it. Thank you guys. All is good now (I hope)

I spoke too soon. When I did that it also changed the public_html permissions to 0777. I change it back to 0750 and the same error comes up again.

chown username.nobody public_html

chown username.nobody public_html

Thanks but no joy. SAame issue

OK, I got it to work changing the ownership through WinSCP.

Thanks again
