Vagrant Enable Symlinks
rise to the top Getting “Protocol Error” when trying to create a symlink in Docker up vote 3 down vote favorite I'm trying to setup a symlink, using the command ln -s /var/www/data/cache/widget/overlay/ /var/www/public_html/images/overlay but it outputs ln: failed to create symbolic link '/var/www/public_html/images/overlay': Protocol error The host OS is Windows 8, and the Docker image is Ubuntu. I believe the issue could be something to do with permissions, as when the Docker image sharedfoldersenablesymlinkscreate is started, /var/www/public_html is mapped to a folder inside Windows 8, /C/Users/Username/Documents/development/public_html. However, I can create folders, and files via command line inside the public_html folder, which kind of goes against it being permissions. I also can't find anyway to start Docker as admin to see if that helps, as it's just a .sh script that runs. Has anybody else had the "Protocol error" when creating symlinks? Or any idea how I could get more information about what causes this issue? EDIT: Also, if I try to save an image via PHP to the public_html folder or copy a file there (again, via PHP), that gives the same "Protocol error" message. ubuntu windows symlink virtual-machine docker share|improve this question edited Apr 22 '15 at 2:51 Scott 3,75621328 asked Apr 21 '15 at 14:44 Tom Hart 19019 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted So /var/www/public_html is actually as Windows folder, but /var/www/data is not? You're trying to create a symbolic link from a Windows directory into a Ubuntu directory in a virtual machine. There's no way that Windows can support an object like that. share|improve this answer answered Apr 22 '15 at 2:58 Scott 3,75621328 Yeah that's right.

That way I can use my text editor in Windows. When I use an older version of NPM everything works fine, probably because it stays out of my shared folder.
