Sudo ln not creating the link

  • 772

If I try and create a link without sudo in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled it fails with a permission denied.

When I try and do it with sudo a file is created but it is not a link.

Any ideas?

The exact command I am running from sites-enabled is ln ../sites-available/newsite newsite

The file I am linking to is owned by me.

linux apache-2.2

    ln creates hard links by default. Pass -s.
