I use Backupify for my backups. It does Twitter, Gmail, Flickr and some others.

Though I’m all about setting stuff up on my own. Sometimes it’s easier to just use a pre-made solution for the issue.

I corrected the symbolic link code on the Wiki – it needed to be the other way round.
i.e. ln -s ~/webapp ~/yourdomain.com/tweets

But I still get a forbidden error

Sorry, other Chris–I’m not sure what the problem is. Probably the tutorial should be redone without the symlinks, they seem to trip a few people up.

I can’t do step 10 because something seems to be wrong with my symbolic link. Firefox just gives me a 404 Not found message. I’m not sure what might be the problem? None of the other steps had any problems.

I’m not sure, Chris. I just noticed that in the tutorial I typed “webapps” a few times when it should have been “webapp.” Perhaps that caused you to mistype it as well?

Hello! Thanks for the tutorial on installing twitalyic on a dreamhost acount.

When creating the symbolic link I run the command as shown and it appears to work, meaning I’m not given any error messages, but when I try to cd into the tweets directory I get “No such file or directory” message. If I cd into the twitaliyc/webapp directory I can see the link created there.

Maybe you can point me in the right direction?
