Question

domains not appearing in the dasboard

dsgnr opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

Hello,

I am fairly new to using Vagrant. I have a strange issue with the dashboard where by the domain names, links and WP version number don't seem to appear on my custom domain names.

I made sure they were added to the vvv-hosts file but I just get N/A under sites and version number.

It's not essential I guess but just would be nice to get it to work :)

I'm not really sure how to trouble shoot this so thought I'd ask here.

Thanks!

What version of VVV Dashboard are you using? Make sure its 0.1.7
How are you creating this sites "custom domain names"?

Hello, I am definitely using 0.1.7.

I'm making new domains by creating a new nginx host file and then either restarting nginx or a provision.

There are a couple things that are missing when creating custom sites this way.
VVV Dashboard relies heavily on WPCLI for a lot of its data and tools.
So you have to have the wp-cli.yml file
Go to your VVV/www/your_site folder
Create a file named wp-cli.yml
in it put path: htdocs
No new lines or trailing white space.

But you will have other issue with Vagrant also because your init script for those sites will not have all of the info that vagrant uses to provision each site.

I have a comment here that explains how to fix it or verify that the init script is correct.

@ntillman-tcu thats the problem. You have to create it. Without it you will not only miss features for that site in VVV Dashboard but also VVV itself.

I installed Variable vvv to create my new sites which seemed to resolve issues. It automates the process and creates the necessary files for WPCLI and the other settings the Dashboard depends on for displaying the sites. Thanks again for your help and a great asset to better organize my projects.
