Hi all.
I am trying to make a symlink form my freesco box (v038) to a shared directory on one of the xp machines in my network. This machine runs a program called FSD that is used for flightsimulator people to connect to with FSInn to fly with each other. This program creates a txt file that can then be read by another program over the internet to see on a map where one is and who else is there.
This txt file has to be served via a webserver (I use apache) in a subdirectory form the www files. I have tried having FSD write directly in this directory but that does not work for some reason. I made a share in the freesco (using Samba) and I had XP map that drive (so it now was z:\ and added this to the config of FSD. No luck. I can create files from the XP machine in this directory so I do not think it has something to do with writing allowences (so to speak).
Now I thought of trying to do it the other way. Connecting from Freesco to the xp share. I first tried Ln -s but no luck and now smbmount.
I use the following syntax.
smbmount /192.168.169.148/whazzup /home/rest/lecakyme -n
However I constantly get the following reply
mount error: Device or resource busy
Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons
This is confusing to me. Does this mean the share is busy (yes I hope so) sometimes the server writes into there, or is the /lecakyme busy (again I hope so, also my apache should be there).
So in other words I am lost. To make sure it was not the xp share I have changed the config file of fsd (once again) so it writes somewhere else, yet the message stays the same.
Any help would be appreciated (are there any logfiles to be viewed?).
Thanks in advance.
