To create a symbolic link in Unix or Linux, at the shell prompt, enter the following command:
surya# ln -s {target-filename} {symbolic-filename}
For example create softlink for /webroot/home/httpd/test.com/index.php as
/home/surya/index.php,
enter the following command:
#ln -s /webroot/home/httpd/test.com/index.php /home/surya/index.php

#ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 surya surya 16 2012-09-24 16:53 index.php ->
