Trellis - No such file or directory on Deploy

Hello, I am having an issue with deployment. I have followed all of the steps in the example project (https://github.com/roots/roots-example-project.com) and was able to successfully set up my local dev environment. I was also able to provision the server with the following: ansible-playbook -i hosts/staging server.yml

However, when I try to deploy to DigitalOcean using ./deploy.sh staging amigoslink.org, I continuously get the following error:

TASK: [deploy | Create shared symlinks] ***************************************
failed: [45.55.89.50] => (item={ā€˜pathā€™: ā€˜web/app/uploadsā€™, ā€˜srcā€™: ā€˜uploadsā€™}) => {ā€œfailedā€: true, ā€œitemā€: {ā€œpathā€: ā€œweb/app/uploadsā€, ā€œsrcā€: ā€œuploadsā€}, ā€œpathā€: ā€œ/srv/www/amigoslink.org/releases/20150616135757/web/app/uploadsā€, ā€œstateā€: ā€œabsentā€}
msg: Error while linking: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

FATAL: all hosts have already failed ā€“ aborting

My DigitalOcean droplet was just created before this new attempt ā€“ Installed Ubuntu 14.0.4 and nothing else. Any Idea what might be causing this?

Hereā€™s a video of that process if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dc_epCn4Jk

There appears to be no ā€œwebā€ folder inside of this release folder:

That should have been created for me correct?

#3

Iā€™m guessing that this should be looking inside of the ā€œsiteā€ folder? and not the ā€œreleasesā€ folder?

#4

Correct.

Iā€™ve been at this for a week now, spending most of my days trying to get this thing to work and I still canā€™t get it working on a fresh Digital Ocean Droplet. Iā€™ve followed the example project exactly, and every other guide Iā€™ve found. The closest Iā€™ve been is this issue right here.

Iā€™ve tried:

subtree: site
subtree_path: site
local_path: '../site'
local_path: ../site
wp_siteurl: http://bohemiancode.com/wp
wp_siteurl: http://bohemiancode.com

None of them seem to rid me of:

Iā€™m running the latest versions of Trellis, Bedrock and Sage as Iā€™ve freshly cloned them all this week. I will try again, but man I feel like 98% of being a web dev is spending time doing stuff like this which is meant to save me timeā€¦ haha

Itā€™s telling you there is no uploads folderā€¦ Have you added that yet?

#8

I got it working by scratching the entire project, cloning the actual example project and changing the settings to match my server and database. It worked flawlessly but I can see that the process is somewhat different. I donā€™t remember exactly how different as I was doing all of this until 5.30am this morning.
Now that you mention it, perhaps I created an upload folder in the wrong place, to double check, it should be made so that it exists in:
/srv/www/example.com/shared/uploads
is that correct?

#9

Yes thatā€™s correct

Thanks very much, I will try again from scratch when I get time during the week! I really appreciate your help :smile:
