Delete and recreate fails

Issuing a sudo ee site delete bottleandglass.net results in this:

Are you sure, you want to delete database [y/N]: n (NOTE: db creation failed so the db does not exist)

Are you sure, you want to delete webroot [y/N]: y

Deleting Webroot, /var/www/bottleandglass.net

Deleted webroot successfully

sudo ee site create bottleandglass.net --wpfc site bottleandglass.net already exists

Note that it never removes the Nginx config. I removed the entries in sites-available and sites-enabled and reloaded Nginx… still fails. This is 3.01

@Rick_Gregory

try again with delete database as y.

FYI,

Latest EasyEngine calls cleanup actions, if it fails at any step. so that user can create site again easily.

can you please share your logs? cat /var/log/ee/ee.log

Hi,

I’m also having the exact same error. Currently I’m using 3.1.9. Here’s my log from cat /var/log/ee/ee.log

@Ditto_Rahmat

looks like your cedentials are not for mysql root user. check your ~/.my.cnf for correct mysql credentials

As I have the same issues (see other thread) I can say this is not the root cause. The password to access the WP DB is correct. Any other ideas what could be a reason?

@jochenthomas

Is your database server local or remote?

Hi, it’s local. Can access the DB on console with the password stored in my.cnf

@jochenthomas

could you please proviide me logs for the same so that i can detect the issue?

Hi Harshad,

I’ve updated the root password but still get error

Ditto-

You need to create and delete sites using the same sudo user as when you installed easyengine. If you installed easy engine as root user you will continually run into problems. If this is the case I suggest starting fresh and making sure you install as a sudoer, not root.
