Hi,
I'm using a standard WAMP setup on Windows 7 Pro but use a custom base library for different sites so symlink its folders into each project (one folder below web root, the other in it).
This seems to work fine in general but recently we've started upping the requests made to certain pages (REST API) and once 5 or 6 simultaneous requests come through PHP starts failing on 'require_once' functions saying it can't access the file.
If I remove the symlinks and copy the files over instead, everything is fine. I've tried 'mklink' with both '/D' and '/J' flags but both exhibit the same issue.
I'm using 'httpd-2.4.12-win32-VC11.zip' and 'php-5.6.9-Win32-VC11-x86.zip'. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Richard |

Are the junction points on the same hardrive?
Did you try /H to have a hard link? |

Yep, everything is on the same drive.
I'm symlinking folders so don't believe I can use the hard link flag? (I've just tried and got 'access is denied') |

Just to update, this is still an issue but for anyone in a similar boat I've temporarily worked around it by using real-time sync software (DSynchronize under Windows) to sync two folders instead of symlinking.
It's not nice, but it works for now.
Cheers,

| Did you try various settings for FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnerMatch? I do not know what their effcet is on Windows, but you never know. |
