Delete and Recreate around 400 Symbolic Links in one Folder
Hello,
I recently just switched my phphandler to suPHP on my server in order to increase security a bit. I am working with 2 scripts, one of which is vbulletin forums and the other is custom. The vbulletin forum avatars are all symbolic links to pictures in the other custom script. When I switched to suPHP, all of the avatars stopped showing up in my forum. So I went to changed all the permissions on the image files in the actual image folder. That didn't work completely so I went into the symbolic link folder and deleted and recreated a few links. It seems that only recreating them makes them take the new permissions. Each one of the recreated ones works. So now I am faced with having to delete and recreate about 400 links. Is there any way to script this to help out? Or is there another way to update the links without removing and remaking them? Thanks in advance for any help.
