changing "Zonefiles Dir" path in ISPconfig settings

[pine1455]

Hello All
I created a symbolic link for my named dire as shown in below:
/var/named -> /repdata/var/named
When I put "/var/named/chroot/var/named" as a "Zonefiles Dir" in settings it changed to "/repdata/var/named/chroot/var/named" after saving in ISPConfig.
In this case named can not run and I got the following error:
-----------
/etc/named.conf:3: change directory to '/repdata/var/named/chroot/var/named' failed: file not found
/etc/named.conf:3: parsing failed
-----------
Does anybody have any idea that why ISPConfig chang my ZoneFiles Path?!!!

Do you get the same error messages as before?

[pine1455]

before moving my /var/named to /repdata/var I don't have any problem .... but after moving to repdata dir and "updating " to real path it did not work ...
I don't know why ispcongfig can no set "Zonefiles Dir" path when it use symbolic link !!!
BTW, I undo my changes and set "zonefiles Dir" to old path ... and then I recreate sym link and move my named to /repdata ... now it works ...

Because ISPConfig tries to "read" the real path with PHP's realpath() function: http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php
