TYPO3 Symlinks From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24896319/typo3-6-2-typo3-src-should-be-a-link
You have to create symlinks manually, checklist:
1. Open the terminal
2. Move downloaded typo3_src-6.2.4.zip to host's root
mv ~/Downloads/typo3_src-6.2.4.zip /Application/MAMP/htdocs/typo3/
3. Go to destination folder:
cd /Application/MAMP/htdocs/typo3/
4. Still in this location unzip downloaded package (you can remove zip file after that) unzip typo3_src-6.2.4.zip
5. Still in this location create a symlink to that extracted directory with name typo3_src : ln -s typo3_src-6.2.4 typo3_src
6. Still in this location create a symlink to index.php pointing file in created symlink: ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php
7. Still in this location create a symlink to typo3 folder pointing folder in created symlink:
ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3
8. Still in this location copy file _.htaccess from source folder to host's root:
cp typo3_src/_.htaccess ./
9. Still in this location copy file composer.json from source folder to host's root:
cp typo3_src/composer.json ./
10. Still in this location create file FIRST_INSTALL
touch FIRST_INSTALL
11. That's it! Open the host in the browser and start the configuration
After all the steps your file structure should look like (command ls -la):
FIRST_INSTALL _.htaccess
composer.json
index.php ->
typo3_src/index.php
typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
typo3_src -> typo3_src-6.2.4
typo3_src-6.2.4
NOTE: try to avoid using name typo3 as a folder name for host's root, it's better to use name according to project i.e.: /Application/MAMP/htdocs/my-project-1/
