Snapshots requires the php in your PATH environment
-
SnapShots tries to find the
phpbinary on your system. If it can’t find it, you will get this error. You can define the location of yourphpbinary by open your terminal and running`dirname $(which php)
`This returns the directory of your php binary. Use this location to define the constant
SNAPSHOTS_PHP_PATHin yourwp-config.phpfile. For example:`define( ‘SNAPSHOTS_PHP_PATH’, ‘/usr/local/bin’ );
`Don’t include the
phpbinary in the path! -
Your Home URLs do not match
-
Snapshots checks if the home URL of your site matches the one from
wp option get home. If they are not equal it often that theDB_HOSTvariable is not defined correctly. This also happens if you use a socket for your MySql connection (Local WP).Update your DB_HOST variable in your
wp-config.phpfile to something like this:`define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:/tmp/ysql/mysqld.sock’ );
`This should not affect the regular usage of your site. If you encounter any problems, You can wrap the statement like so:
`if ( defined( ‘WP_CLI’ ) && WP_CLI ) {
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:/tmp/ysql/mysqld.sock’ );
}else{
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );
}
