I'm trying to run the following artisan command:
php artisan storage:link
I get this error:
[ErrorException]
symlink(): Protocol error
Can you help me to solve this.
This is my setup:
- Windows 10 using vagrant with Homestead (v0.5.0) box
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64)
- Laravel Framework version 5.3.6
- PHP 7.0
Your problem probably is that you have to start your vagrant box as a system administrator.
So hit start type "cmd", right click it choose "Run as administrator". Navigate to your project, type "vagrant up". Retry the command.
Creating symbolic link on Homestead?
Run cmd as Super Admin.
php artisan storage:link is OK.
First close vagrant with vagrant halt
command, then run cmd as administrator, go to your homestead folder, start Vagrant with vagrant up
and then you can run php artisan storage:link
.
For me it worked :)
You must login as cmd administrator, to do this click on the windows key and X. Then select the administrator system symbol. Do not forget to give her vagrant halt at the other terminal.
