To anyone having trouble getting their pages to cache, and aren’t able to perform the symbolic link… I had the same problem. But I read the following info:
**************
6. Add the following line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_CACHE', true);
Make sure you add the line in the middle of the file, otherwise it won't execute.
`
***************
I did this and now everything works.
Good luck!
