What to type into browser to start site

[SamStamport]

I've read the documentation, but can't seem to find what I type into my browser to access my site once it has been set up.

Please advise.

Thanks!

If you have installed the requirements -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox#requirements

It will be the beet_domain variable in your .beetbox/config.yml file.

[SamStamport]

I'm pretty sure I installed all the requirements.

beet_domain: cb.local

When I type "cb.local" into Chrome I get a Bing search results page. What am I doing wrong?

[thom8]

Can you try ping the domain? -- ping cb.local

If so you might need to use http://cb.local depending on the browser, cb.local is a domain rather than a URL.

If you can't ping it can you run vagrant plugin list and post the result, also what OS are you using?

[SamStamport]

Yea!

http://cb.local worked. I'm getting a SQL error, but that's because I've not yet copied the database.

PS C:\Users\samst\Desktop\Drupal\cb> ping cb.local

I'm using Windows 10 and PowerShell with Administrative privileges to run vagrant.

What do I type into chrome to get to adminer or phpMyAdmin?

[thom8]

We do have adminer but you'd need to add a new vhost.

However it might be easier to treat it as a remote server and use a local SQL client on the host or use drush to import your database - drush sql-cli < ~/db.sql

[SamStamport]

Sorry for what is probably a dumb question ...

How do I run Drush? When I type "drush status" in PowerShell from the folder that I use to run Vagrant I get "The term 'drush' is not recognized".

I searched http://beetbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ and did web searches, but found nothing.

I am a newbie and a one-man shop. I really want this to work so that I can get back to developing & supporting my Drupal site.

Thanks!

Unfortunately the Windows Drush installer was discontinued, so your best option is probably to run vagrant ssh and run the drush commands from within Beetbox.

[SamStamport]

Oh my! I really would like Drush to work. I guess this means I'll have to figure out how to make DrupalVM work? It's my understanding that Drush is supported and works with DrupalVM?

When I type "vagrant ssh" I get "ssh executable not found in any directories in the %PATH% variable."

I really had hoped that DrupalVM or BeetBox would permanently solve my server problems. I'm trying to get my local site to mirror my remote in terms of the same versions of MySQL, PHP, etc. Bitnami installed without too much fuss, but I discovered that I cannot modify the versions of MySQL, PHP, etc.

[thom8]

@ColumbiaBlooms you can use drush on your host machine @Decipher was suggesting that it might be easier to do it inside the VM rather than battle with powershell...

http://docs.drush.org/en/master/install/

[thom8]

Also have a read of this - http://docs.drupalvm.com/en/latest/other/windows/

There's nothing specific to DrupalVM and the same applies to this project.

[SamStamport]

I've been down the Drush on Windows route before. I spent many days on this and finally discovered that commands are limited when installed on Windows.

@Decipher says to run "vagrant ssh" to get to Drush, but as you can see from my previous post I'm getting an error message.

[thom8]

@ColumbiaBlooms Windows doesn't support SSH by default...

I'd recommend something like http://cmder.net/

hopefully the bash support will help when it's generally available.

[SamStamport]

It looks like BeetBox will not meet my needs. I really, really want to use native Windows without having to install a lot of other stuff. Vagrant seems to hold this promise, but apparently BeetBox does not.

I really have high hopes for Vagrant that it will still work and give me an environment that I don't have to tinker with all the time if I can just wrap my brain around it and/or DrupalVM. I need a simple environment on my Win 10 machine with a fully functional Drush, shared folders, and the ability to easily change versions for PHP, MySQL, etc.

[thom8]

Sorry BeetBox is not designed to help with your host machine requirements, it's so your host machine only requires a minimal setup and everything else runs inside the VM.

However, I'd recommend getting SSH working for any Vagrant project.

[SamStamport]

Thanks for all your help and honesty. I'll go back to trying to learn DrupalVM and Vagrant.

Please close this problem report.

[thom8]

No worries -- you'll still need SSH for DrupalVM, this project is almost identical it just uses a pre-provisioned base box -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox#beetbox---a-pre-provisioned-lmp-stack
