  3. Error Creating Public Folder

I am trying to use the following Artisan command to create a public folder for enhanced security, but I am getting an error message:

php artisan october:mirror public/

I get the following error:

In OctoberMirror.php line 189: symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(1314)

I am using XAMPP with Windows 10 and I am opening the XAMPP Control Panel with administrator privileges, which should give it the required permissions to create symbolic links.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

I figured it out. You also have to open the command prompt for running the Artisan command with administrator privileges.

I had a similar problem. I had to delete public folder and then execute again php artisan october:mirror public/
