Question
Symlink: Access with NGINX to root folder files
Hello dear community. Im just going to be clear.
I’ve just installed nginx running on Debian 10. However, Im running a game server which is located at root directory and Im trying to access to one of the folder of the game server (Located at root Example: /root/gameserver/shareFolder).
However, I have been reading and triying to find a way to access there via a Symlink, however it was not possible unless I use the following command
sudo chmod a+X /root
As far as I read is not a good choice to use/keep that command.
On the one hand I have tried to change the folder ownership but sadly it drops 404 Error or 403. On the other I have also tried to create a location in a .config file.
I know I can move the game server folder and files to another secure directory, but, which one should be the correct one? And which one can access with nginx user to a symlink of it?
First of all I’m so sorry if I didnt explained pretty well. Im not an expert coder and english is not my strong suit.
Thanks in advance, regards.
