Trellis Deploy Staging on Dreamcompute

trellis
1

I purchased Radicle. Then, during development I updated relevant variables in /group_vars and /hosts. I ran trellis vault encrypt staging, npm run build, and composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader.

I’m setting up a cloud based staging environment with Dreamhost “Dreamcompute.” After installing SSH keys, Git deployment keys I was able to successfully run trellis provision staging and trellis deploy staging. I also imported the sql db backup after updating references to development and changing them to staging.

At this moment, I can visit the Wordpress backend, login and see the database. I can SSH and see theme files in /public/build/assets. But I cannot resolve the frontend. I’m currently getting “There has been a critical error on this website.” Please let me know what additional information would help troubleshoot.

Thank you,

There should be some sort of error log being written somewhere on your server where you can find out more information

Yes! Just ran tail -f /srv/www/project_directory/logs/error.log and caught the error. Looks like I neglected to add ACF with composer require. So, SSHd into staging as web@, cd /srv/www/hopenetwichita.org/current and ran composer require wpackagist-plugin/advanced-custom-fields. Then went into admin, activated ACF and bada bing bada boom, gotta all the frontends up and running.
