I've installed it and gone through the various tutorials. It's a pretty nice CMS and seems to be very powerful. But I haven't yet created any real sites with it so my experience is quite limited.
I have a simple question about the setup. If you have heard of TYPO3 or not, or if you have tried it or not, you still might be able to answer this if you are a webmaster and you are pretty technically savy. This PHP, MYSQL and XML bundle comes with an text file which explains how to set things up. It lists a "STEP BY STEP' numbered tasks which seem pretty simple to follow. Number 6 on this list has got me stumped. It says: What does this mean? What is a symlink? You can see the whole file at http://www.completetranslations.com/TYPO3/dummy-3.8.1.tar/dummy-3.8.1/INSTALL.txt
It's also called a softlink. For example, I installed the typo3 source in a global directory which, in my case, is /web/include/typo3. When I installed the typo3 document directory I find a link labeled typo3_src and it is a softlink, or a symlink. I don't recall where it pointed to originally, but I know because my typo3 source directory is /web/include/typo3 I had to change the symlink to point to that directory by doing ln -s /web/include/typo3 typo3_src Code (markup): Now when I do ls -l on the document root directory I see: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 26 08:13 typo3_src -> /web/include/typo3/ Code (markup):
