[DHTML Kitchen]

Need to link from the site_dev directory to www directory.

[PHP]
-bash-2.05b$ ls
conf site_dev mail public_ftp public_html tmp www
-bash-2.05b$ ln -s dhtmlkitchen_dev/ www
[/PHP]

I want to make it so that when you go to http://www.site.com/, or http://site.com/ , then you can see index.html in site_dev. Is it possible?

I'm not sure what the web-server aspects of this are, but if you want to make a link using ln -s, the first field after the command should contain the file or directory you want to link to, and the second contains the name of the new link target you want to create.

So, if www exists, and dhtmlkitchen_ev does not, you should type:

ln -s www dhtmlkitchen_dev

and the dhtmlkitchen_dev directory will point to the www directory.

Yes, it's possible, but using symlinks is not the way to do it. You need to have access to the httpd configuration file for your site (possibly in http.conf itself, or (more likely) included into it) and the server's DNS configuration files as well. Depending on where you're hosted, they might have a Web-based interface for you to do this (e.g., CPanel). If you're hosting yourself, look up "named virtual hosts" (ServerAlias, specifically) in the Apache documentation and the documentation for whatever DNS you're using (often BIND).
