upload folder is not right, uploading/using uploaded files are not working

[asandikci]

Describe the bug

limesurvey defaults to /var/www/$app as / if I'm not wrong. But data files are located in /home/yunohost.app/$app/upload and this path linked to /var/www/$app/upload (linked as /var/www/$app/upload/upload). So:

• Files uploading in /home/yunohost.app/$app/upload/... (symbolic linked as /var/www/$app/upload/upload/...)
• When choosing image from editor (for creating survey questions), KCFinder finds /home/yunohost.app/$app/upload/surveys/{ID}/images/image.png succesfully.
• After we choose image, limesurvey automatically places path /upload/surveys/{ID}/images/image.png to URL
• BUT image preview/adding not working. Probably because of limesurvey root path / defaults to /var/www/$app but /var/www/$app/upload/surveys/{ID}/images/image.png is not right path
• right path is: /var/www/$app/upload/upload/surveys/{ID}/images/image.png

Workaround

• While using your files (tested on images), you choose a image from server and an image URL automatically pasted (/upload/surveys/{ID}/images/image.png). Add /upload as prefix to this path. (briefly use upload twice) /upload/upload/surveys.....

Context

• Hardware: VPS bought online
• YunoHost version: 11.2.4 (stable)
• I have access to my server: Through SSH | through the webadmin
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance?: no
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch: 5.6.8+230227~ynh1

Steps to reproduce

please see Describe the bug section above. But first create a survey, question group and question

Expected behavior

One click file uploading, one click file using

Possible Solutions

1. move all /var/www/$app/upload content to /home/yunohost.app/$app/upload, create symbolic link as /var/www/$app/upload/ for /home/yunohost.app/$app/upload (not as /var/www/$app/upload/upload) - is this safe ?
2. Don't change anything and just configure URL placeholder when we choose a file in KCFinder, thanks to our configuration system adds /upload prefix automatically

Which solution is better? Or there any other solution?

I have used your first solution.
However, it means it could be possible to search for public image inside those urls... I don't know if limesurvey should serve those image by itself ?

This is needed : direct link used for files like upload/surveys/XXX/files/myfile.pdf
