Hi all

I'm following this tutorial to set up a LAMP stack on EC2 with persistent storage on EBS. It all works well when doing it step by step.

But in case you want to mount your EBS under /mnt instead of under the root directory the

ln -s

commands won't work!

I tried:

ln -s /mnt/ebs1/httpd /etc

and:

ln -s /mnt/ebs1/httpd /etc/httpd

Is there a difference when linking to a file on a device that is mounted under /mnt?

(working on fedora core 8)
