Command contao:symlinks fails with the error «The path "web/files/some-folder" exists and is not a symlink». This happens on one of my contao installations (4.5.14) for reason, that I cannot figure out. I get this error message for every public folder in /files folder
Delete "web/files/some-folder" and create symlink again.
I searched the web and the forum before posting, and this answer is always appearing. I don't get this solution.
"/web/files/some-folder" is a real folder, because "/web/files" points to "/files". If I delete it, of course everything's fine, no folder – no problem. But I need this folder (obviously), and when it's there – there's the problem again.
"/web/files" should not point to "/files". "/web/files" should be a physical folder. Contao creates the symlinks inside of "/web/files". Delete "/web/files" and then run composer install again.
Well... looks like it’s not true. I just did that and Contao created symlink “files” in the /web folder, and then I got the same error messages.Quote:

This is wrong. As already stated above web/files should be a folder not a symlink.

Interesting, I did not know that works. I think that's a Contao bug. I'll test and report accordingly.
I don’t know exactly, why the file was there. It’s highly possible that I messed that up some day. All other installations that I manage don’t have it there.
