  Hi


  Unfortunately this is not enough in my symlinked farm. The problem
  comes from __FILE__ being the **absolute** path to a file and thus
  breaking when used in a symlinked context.

  With the patches applied, you can see the broken farm on
  http://www-isis.u-strasbg.fr/bug/farm/ (try any of the five
  available animals in this farm).

  __FILE__, DOKU_INC and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] are displayed in
  mediamanager.php so one can see the problem. For example in
  http://www-isis.u-strasbg.fr/bug/farm/3/lib/exe/mediamanager.php
  where __FILE__ (and thus DOKU_INC which uses it) has lost the
  symlinked directory name as it resolves to the absolute path in the
  local filesystem.

  That's why my farm patch is not only getting rid of realpath() but
  also of __FILE__.

  Have fun!
