Suddenly I get this error message during deploy:

> TASK [deploy : WordPress Installed?]
> 
> Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress install.  
> Pass --path=`path/to/wordpress` or run `wp core download`.

Also the site doesn’t load anymore, HTTP 500.  
The deploy script just switched the current symlink despite the  
newly deployed site is not working anymore.

Edit: I found the logs in ‘/srv/www//logs’ .

> PHP message: PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/srv/www/thedomain.com/releases/20170319033531/web/wp/wp-blog-header.php’

I tried `composer install` in ‘/srv/www/thedomain.com/current/’ but  
files like ‘web/wp/wp-blog-header.php’ are still missing.

I was able to revert to a previous release and make the site function again by overriding the current symlink with a new one that points to a different release folder:

`web@localhost: ln -sfs /srv/www/<site>/releases/<release> /srv/www/<site>/current`

Maybe related to this? [Johnpbloch/wordpress moved to a new configuration and WP goes missing](https://discourse.roots.io/t/johnpbloch-wordpress-moved-to-a-new-configuration-and-wp-goes-missing/9124)

Was there any Composer errors? Is the entire `wp` dir empty?

Also there’s a rollback playbook: [https://roots.io/trellis/docs/deploys/#rollbacks](https://roots.io/trellis/docs/deploys/#rollbacks)
