Can't create a new wordpress site

v3
#1

Hello, I’m trying easy engine for the first time and I’m trying to set up a new workpress site. However the create command fails after extracting wordpress:

$ sudo ee site create dummy.com --wpsubdir
    Running pre-update checks, please wait...
    Setting up NGINX configuration 	[Done]
    Setting up webroot 		        [Done]
    Downloading WordPress 		[Fail]
    Oops Something went wrong !!
    Calling cleanup actions ...
    'ee_mysql_grant_host'

The error, from the log reads as follows:

2016-02-08 03:52:35,803 (DEBUG) ee : Changing directory to /var/www/dummy.com/htdocs/
2016-02-08 03:52:35,803 (DEBUG) ee : Running command: wp --allow-root core download
2016-02-08 03:52:41,184 (DEBUG) ee : Command Output: Downloading WordPress 4.4.2 (en_US)...
,
Command Error: Error: Couldn't extract WordPress archive.     DirectoryIterator::__construct(/tmp/wp_56b81106587ba/): failed to open dir

2016-02-08 03:52:41,185 (INFO) ee : [Fail]

If I check on /tmp/ there’s no /tmp/wp_* folder but there’s a /tmp/wordpress folder.

This issue is extremely similar to the issues reported by the end of last year in posts similar to this:

(I can’t add other links due to site restrictions)

However, the solution from that time, ee stack remove --wpcli; ee stack install --wpcli, is not working for me right now.

Does anyone have an idea of what I could be doing wrong? Or how can I get my site working? I’ve heard great things about easy engine and I would really like to set it up for this project.

Thanks in advance.

I just spent 6 hours, pulling my hair on top of this issue until I found the culprit. I had everything setup fine, I could login, create database, permissions, etc. Yet, EasyEngine could not create the database for me. Turns out that besides the usual locations of:

~/.my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Easyengine stores a new my.cnf file containing the root user / password in: /etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf

Hope this helps as I found a lot of people having the same issue.

Yes, put it in the client section after port and socket. But keep in mind that the file you opened is in your root account, not in /etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf

[client]
user = root
password = yourpassword
