Symlink failed on first vagrant up #61

# Symlink the theme into wordpress instance
symlink /home/vagrant/shared/fixmyblock-theme /home/vagrant/wordpress/wp-content/themes/fixmyblock-theme

Got a fail

default: ln: 
    default: failed to create symbolic link '/home/vagrant/wordpress/wp-content/themes/fixmyblock-theme': Permission denied

Which makes me think maybe it should be 

# Symlink the theme into wordpress instance
sudo_symlink /home/vagrant/shared/fixmyblock-theme /home/vagrant/wordpress/wp-content/themes/fixmyblock-theme

But maybe there's a reason it wasn't that already that I don't understand?

Ah, this’ll be because we recently changed the permissions on the /home/vagrant/wordpress directory, so that the web process has permission to write files there (for image uploads, wordpress updates, etc).

Yes, sudo_symlink would do the job now instead 👍

Well spotted!
