I have 3 domains that I would like to have share a single directory.

This single directory will contain product images that all 3 sites have in common.

I have created symbolic links in 2 of the sites that point to the directory of the third site.

When attempting to access files in the shared folder from either of the 2 sites I receive an invalid permissions message.

The shared folder has been chmod -R 777 * on it so the only thing that I can think of is perhaps the open_basedir setting is getting in my way.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get this to work and what needs to be done?

 

did you ever solve this? i'm in a similar situation... i'm using a cms and attempting to link one site to another on the same server but on different domains. however i receive an "unable to create directory error". just let me know if you solved your problem and how.
