All served and deployed but it doesn't show up

trellis

I’m not sure what’s wrong… (After much troubleshooting) I was able to serve and deploy my droplet without errors, however if i visit the ip I just get nginx welcome page. I sshed to have a looksee at the results and all files look to be exactly where they should. Is there a “final step” I’m missing, or anything blatantly wrong I could be doing?

I found reference about restarting php service but it doesn’t help. I also tried destroying and rebuilding my droplet but I always get the same results…

Any help would be much appreciated :smile:
Thanks!

One thing I could easily notice (luckily) is that Trellis pretends to deploy a repo commit that is not actually head. I found out because I moved a file out of the site folder and I can still see it there in the current deploy, after destroying and recreating my droplet. I double checked I set my group_vars/staging/wordpress_sites.yml branch to staging, which is correct, and checked that branch locally as well.

Did you set up your site as the IP? Site URL, name, etc. ?

#4

I did set it up as ip at first. Now I’m using a name…

I did everything three times… changed repo and rebuilt droplets. Everything is served and deployed just fine. I also sshed in /etc/nginx/sites-available to check my site .conf and looks pretty good. Does enabling ssl make a difference?

Yep, apparently there lies the issue. I disabled ssl from wordpress_sites.yml and now the server points where it’s supposed to.

However a new issue arises now, as it seems wordpress-setup tasks didn’t fire correctly (the famous 5min installation page shows up. I guess it shouldn’t). By reviewing terminal output everything looks fine, so it’s difficult to understand why ssl and wordpress-setup are having troubles I see the following tasks skipped:

  • TASK: [wordpress-setup | Copy database dump]
  • TASK: [wordpress-setup | Import database]

Also those related to SSL certificates skipped, but I guess it’s correct since I disabled ssl at the moment.

Any idea why those wordpress-setup tasks skipped?

My real bad :stuck_out_tongue: For no reason whatsoever I thought the process would be full automatic, but it’s not. I used wp cli to export a copy of the database and used db_import set to path/to/file relative to trellis folder within wordpress_sites.yml. Now back to the issue with ssl.

As of today still have no luck with SSL, although everything seems set up correctly. Both certificate.crt and certificate.key are copied on the server inside /etc/nginx/ssl/ folder, but http protocol still applies, and https doesn’t work. I couldn’t find conversations about how to test against ssl. Any hints please?

Alright, got it working! Of course it was my fault :sweat_smile: as for some reason my server.crt and server.key did not match.

I was able to find out the issue by checking in terminal if both my certificate and key matched. If they don’t it won’t work. So if you run into a similar issue, try typing the following commands and then compare output hashes:

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in path/to/certificate.crt | openssl md5
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in path/to/privateKey.key | openssl md5

Not an ansible guru here, but wondering if possible to include a similar check within roles.
