My tar files is invisible!

Posted by hbhb, 03-28-2008, 12:07 PM
Hi, I need help, I just execute a command to tar a directory #tar -zcvf folder.tar.gz /home/user/public_html/folder #chown user:user folder.tar.gz #chmod 777 folder.tar.gz #ll folder.tar.gz -rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 100468712 Mar 28 23:10 folder.tar.gz* So when I try to go http://domain.com/folder.tar.gz to download the files, it says 404 Not Found When I try to wget from another server, it says 404 Not Found When I try to FTP from another sevrer, I cannot see the files at all. Why is my tar files becoming invisible, and how to solve this problem?

Please check the apache error log to know where apache is looking for the file.

404 Not Found Even my FTP client can't see the file. I can't see from http I can't wget from http I can't list the file or get from ftp I can only see folder.tar.gz inside SSH! It's so weird...

It seems that you ran the command to tar the file from a different directory. Run the command 'pwd' where you can see the tar file. If it is not /home/user/public_html/, move the tar file to /home/user/public_html/ using the following command mv folder.tar.gz /home/user/public_html/ Hope it helps
