Laravel error: symlink() has been disabled for security reasons

I'm trying to set-up a laravel cms system that already exists on a shared host. But when i setup my laravel project on this shared hosting directory i get the error
symlink() has been disabled for security reasons
I can't seem to find a proper explenation on how i can fix this in my situation. I only get this error the first time and when i refresh this error, it disappears.
