 Description   

Customer attempted to use a symbolic link from

/usr/share/maxscale/gui

to another directory. The gui would not load in a browser because of the symbolic link.

The best solution is to allow the gui directory to change with a value in maxscale.cnf, such as:

[maxscale]
admin_gui_dir=/some/other/directory/gui

The GUI files are relative to the sharedir parameter but it doesn't seem to be documented. We'll also have to mention that MaxScale will attempt to load the GUI from the gui directory located in it.

To solve this, try adding sharedir=/some/other/directory/ under the [maxscale] section.
