Now that's confusing me too! I've never had to modify anything to get a web browser to load local files.... or to load links from local files either to local links or online links. > > # From: Scott Ferguson <prettyfly.producti...@gmail.com> > # Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:31:08 +1000 >> Soft links'll work fine. > > OK, dalton:/Category2.html is now a soft link to /home/peter/Category2.html. > > At dalton open > http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/#Links > and click on the link file:///Category2.html . I don't think that will work - for it to work *I* would have to have a file called Category2.html in my / directory.... (mea culpa) As usual I've explained myself poorly. Judging from the apache modules:- members.shaw.ca gives you an account for peasthope - in your home directory is a directory called public_html which is the root of webserver. eg. /home/peasthope/public_html You are probably free to create other directories beneath your home eg. /home/peasthope/stuff You have something you'd like to link to from webpage - the webpage lives somewhere in public_html. eg. /home/peasthope/public_html/index.html Normally I would only serve files that live beneath public_html, and I would/do use additional directories to make content management easier (with static sites), using .htaccess files in each directory to control what can be accessed. Occasionally I might put some files in /home/peasthope/stuff and soft-link them into public_html, just temporarily for testing purposes. In your case you might be able to use that technique. You should then be able to use LDAP to access the files in /home/peasthope/stuff - as long as you don't change the name of the files, the soft-links will continue to work as you change files. Probably best if I reread your posts tomorrow when I'm less distracted - I'm not sure I fully understand what you require. > > This message comes to the Iceweasel error console. > Security Error: Content at http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/#Links may not > load or link to file:///Category2.html. > > Appears that the instructions for the Mozilla security policies are for the > case > where both the file URI link comes from the same machine as the browser runs > on. > > Any better ideas to configure for my case where the file URI link is in > members.shaw.ca/peasthope and the browser is on dalton? You can't. That I know of. The link cannot be relative. I can't think of how to use an absolute link across your network (firewall, network protocols etc).
