symlink at sites/all/modules/civicrm doesn't work
April 27, 2015, 12:54:38 am
Hi,

I am used to put all my development stuff (not only civicrm) at a certain point on my linux machine, therefore I use symlink from
<drupal base>/sites/all/module/civicrm to /my/devel/path/civicrm
This has the benefit of pointing the link to a newer version of civicrm as a means of upgrade or testing new developments.

This doesn't work when I change the symlink to point to another version of my development.
The instructions regarding upgrade civicrm (for example to 4.6) won't be helpful here because they talk about replacing the files locally.

Do you think the way I work is not logical?

thanks

Hershel
