It may be related to the following: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14463 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14153 Note: if the symlink is made on the host FS (and not created on the VM), it seems to behave normally/correctly.

Took me hours to figure out the problem because it occurred by trying to run npm install, not just making symlinks comment:3 Changed 13 months ago by scoates FWIW, mine happened when doing an automated-at-provisioning git checkout (which happened to contain ../ symlinks). comment:4 follow-up: ↓ 5 Changed 13 months ago by sunlover Fixed in https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.0.5-102721-OSX.dmg Please test whether this build it works for you.

Error While Creating Symlink Wamp
major Component: virtual disk Version: VirtualBox 5.0.14 Keywords: symlinks Cc: Guest type: windows 10 symbolic link Linux Host type: Windows Description This is related to Ticket #14563. When running Vagrant on a Windows 10 host, https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14563 creating a symbolic link fails. Not just with relative paths but also with absolute paths. The error only occurs in the Vagrant synced folder. With NFS and regular mount options. Here is an example: vagrant@scotchbox:/var/www/public$ ln -s index.php test.php https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15105 ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘test.php’: Protocol error Attachments VBox.log (63.4 KB) - added by sbaechler 9 months ago. Change History Changed 9 months ago by sbaechler attachment VBox.log added comment:1 Changed 9 months ago by frank Status changed from new to closed Resolution set to duplicate Duplicate of #10085. Symlinks on shared folders cannot be created from the guest due to security reasons. Creating the link on the host and using it from the guest is no problem. Should be fixed eventually but the fix is not trivial. Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.

I believe the issue could be something to do with permissions, as when the Docker image 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

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. Problem is that Virtualbox shared folders don't support symlinks in a shared folder, so I'm getting errors. I can't quite understand why NPM would need to place symlinks in the local folder when installing either. npm ERR! tar "-mvxpf" "-" "--no-same-owner" "-C" "/media/sf_Projects/Personal/chatty/node_modules/___jade.npm" tar: package/lib/index.js: Cannot create symlink to `jade.js': Protocol error npm ERR! tar "-mvxpf" "-" "--no-same-owner" "-C" "/media/sf_Projects/Personal/chatty/node_modules/___jade.npm" tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors npm ERR! tar "-mvxpf" "-" "--no-same-owner" "-C" "/media/sf_Projects/Personal/chatty/node_modules/___jade.npm" npm ERR!
