site not opening. #319

Closed machulnyy closed 7 years ago

machulnyy commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

I followed the install instructions and what seemed like successfully created a new site using

vv create

The site folder appeared in my specified directory. However it only contained SiteName.conf, vvv-hosts, vvv-init.sh, wp-cli.yml files. So when I went onto the VVV dashboard, I could see the site listed but without option to visit the site or the Wordpress admin. After doing some searching around I found the solution was to run

vagrant provision in the site directory.

this successfully created an htdocs folder with all the Wordpress files.

Now when I go onto the VVV dashboard, the options to visit the site, admin, profiles, themes etc, are all there, but when I press visit or admin, nothing happens.

Also, when I try to access the site directly via: SiteName.dev, it opens the VVV dashboard.

Am I missing something?

And if this is anything to go by, the last time I did vagrant provision, this was one of the several RED lines of code in the terminal when the process was running ==> default: Error: Can’t select database. We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select theSiteNamedatabase.

Thank you for any input!

Can anyone help me out please?

I got the very same issue after running vagrant up --provision. Something with nginx configuration must be wrong, having the domain being redirected to the dashboard again.

Having the same problem. No amount of 'vagrant destroy' or 'vagrant provision' will make a difference.

Same here. Tried with an older version on VVV and VV. Updated VVV to today's release, updated VV with VV --update, still same thing. Site goes to VVV dashboard. Can't find the database in PHPmyadmin either.

I did notice that when updating VVV, there was one console error for a connection to the wordpress.org server. Perhaps something to do with it?

Please see ticket #324

Hi,

I also ran in this issue after testing vv for the first time. @benlumia007 I think the problems described in the ticket #324 are happing here also but they are not necessarily the same. I'm on Windows 10, vv is 1.12, vvv is >1.4.0, vagrant is 1.8.7 and VirtualBox is 5.1.2.

I noticed two things. After running vv create everything seems to be going fine but wordpress is not installed. This is described here #324 . A workaround seems to be to start ./vvv-init.sh manually like @sdulaney described. This installed wordpress but brought me here to this issue because it is installed into an htdocs directory inside the named directrory during the vv create process. This does not seem to be correct. VVV itself installs the wordpress files directly into the newsite directory. There is no directory called htdocs created. So it looks like this:

I guess this is the reason why the domain, which is correctly added, leads to the dashboard. Even if I call http://{domainname}/htdocs/ it's showing the dashboard. Also the database maybe is not in a default place. Looking into phpmyadmin all the default vvv databases are bundled inside a container called wordpress. The new one from vv create is placed outside the container.

Being tracked in https://github.com/bradp/vv/issues/324. This is on my "must-fix" roadmap to do as soon as possible.
