If you want https/ssl, you’ll need to create a certificate for your localhost

This post was helpful.

Basically it follow this guide and then you add the cert location to the browsersync options

Has anyone had any luck with changing the max upload size for sites set up with Valet? It seems to be set at 8MB.

Steps I’ve tried:

  1. Editing /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php.ini
  2. Editing the WordPress function.php file
  3. Last ditch attempt was using various plugins but as expected, they get ignored

Any ideas?

17

Edit your php.ini:

php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/etc/php/7.0
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php.ini

So then edit the php.ini found there at:

/usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php.ini

and edit

upload_max_filesize = 32M

line and use the limitation needed.

Thanks for posting that up @jasperfrumau. Sadly I’ve already tried this to no avail.

Just installed Valet 2 (released a few days ago) and they’ve switched over from Caddy to Nginx. As a result, I’ve been able to add client_max_body_size 100m; to my global nginx.conf (located at /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf). Just restart nginx and good to go :slight_smile:

Glad to hear that! Having issues with the latest Laravel Valet version and wp valet itself - ticket myself. May be another Valet 2.x issue. Hitting 404s now.

21

I was having some issues after upgrading but I ended up performing a full restart of the computer and everything worked fine for me after.

Looking at the ticket you linked to, is your URL https://video-tuts.localhost? Did you manually change your domain over to .localhost? I read that you’ll need to manually set that again after the upgrade. Not sure if you did that yet? Also, did you re-park your sites directory?

Hmm, I set the domain again. No change. Then I restarted once more and then I removed the installation and added a new one and now it seems to load just fine :smile:

23

Hmm. home loads and all frontend pages, but now issues with the /wp/ backend pages.

2016/12/12 20:01:40 [error] 2609#0: *21 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: video-tuts.localhost, request: "GET /wp/wp-login.php HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/Users/jasper/.valet/valet.sock:", host: "video-tuts.localhost"

Will test some more again tomorrow.

404s now seem to be related to this issue with secure urls.

I have this problem, anyone can help me?

update:

Set memory_limit = 512M in php.ini solved the problem.

update 2:

this
wp valet new my-project --project=bedrock

return me this
Don't go anywhere, this should only take a second...
Error: sh: composer: command not found

in .zshrc I have this
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"

whats wrong? if i run composerin terminal, all works! Thank you!

Update 3:

Ok after this

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

all works!

this solved all mysql problem error! Thank you! @bondydaa :slight_smile:

I have it all installed and successfully pinging *.dev.

When you install a new project for example as per your article “wp valet new bedrock --project=bedrock”

I am getting

“Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress install.”

If I do a wp core download which it suggests I then get a:

“Error: ‘wp-config.php’ not found.
Either create one manually or use wp core config.”

Now I’m either being dumb here or I’m missing something. I have followed your article to the letter and it all seems to work but creating a new project doesn’t…

Is it expecting a working bedrock installation before I do anything with valet?

29

@andrew40 Could be related to johnpbloch/wordpress repo changes. See solution here Deploy fails : This does not seem to be a WordPress install Perhaps it is your issue with Valet too and in that case you could do the composer part of the solution. Not certain though. But certainly cannot hurt.

31

& after adding the required directory quit your Terminal and reopen to let it take effect :slight_smile:

32

Got this all installed successfully. I can navigate to bedrock.dev ok but it shows standard ‘It works’ page. I suspect its not directing to /web/. the db is installed correctly and fields populated all ok.

4 home http://bedrock.dev/wp yes

I note you specify changing the hosts file to:

Set your site vhost document root to /path/to/site/web/

How do I do that on a Mac (High Sierra)?

33

I had a power cut! When it came all back on it was all working as expected, which is a bit weird?

So do I have to restart any services when I do this in future bedrock installations…

34

Just some notes on what I did that worked:

MariaDB

The “uninstall all versions of mysql for a fresh one” solution solved this error as well:
Don't go anywhere, this should only take a second... Error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Here’s what I did:

  • Stopped all mysql processes I could by running things like brew services stop mariadb and mysql.server stop
  • brew remove mysql and was also prompted to run brew uninstall --force mysql
  • ran through the first list of commands from the coderwall link
  • In addition, had to run: brew uninstall mariadb
  • couldn’t find mysql with which mysql or ps aux | grep mysqld after that
  • Ran through list of commands in the second list on the coderwall link but the long command produced an error “unkown variable tmpdir”, found solution in comments to run: mysqld -initialize --verbose --user=whoami --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp instead
  • Finally ran: brew install mariadb (valet needs mariadb specifically, not mysql)

PHP

Before I knew I had to fix PHP I temporarily increased the memory limit to install the wp-cli valet command, like so: php -d memory_limit=512M "$(which wp)" package install aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-valet-command:^1.0

Instead of uninstalling all versions of PHP I made a symlink for php@7 into usr/local/bin. My command ended up looking like this:
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/php@7.0/7.0.30/bin /usr/local/bin/php
making a symlink for mariadb did not work since I had multiple running for some reason.

Sometime during the install process I also had stop apache on OSX: sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl stop

After a while valet stopped working and I ran through these steps to get going again:

I ran int the same memory problem when trying to install wp-cli-valet-command

Having installed php via homebrew I edited memory_limit = 1024M in /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/conf.d/php-memory-limits.ini, then restart php (in my case, valet restart) and, after this, I was able to install this package.
