SOLVED Changed WP URL From within WP -- Site Can't be Found

  • S

    Hello,

    I changed the URL from within the WP dashboard. What I did not realize is that this is done within the Cloudron app configuration. I tested changing it there on a 2nd WP instance and it worked fine.

    However, the 1st WP instance, where I changed it incorrectly, is not reachable through the admin panel. I have the A record created at my domain registrar correctly. And I also tried to reapply a name change through Cloudron for this 1st WP instance (hoping it would overwrite the setting in the WP admin panel, but it is not taking. It is also not responding to trying to force the URL change through the wp.config.php file.

    Do you have any idea how I can recover this instance? It appears that WP is stuck and has a conflict with Cloudron.

    @Shaun-Snapp Usually, a restart of the app will "sync" up the site url inside WordPress and the one configured in Cloudron. You can restart from the Console section of the app.

    When you say it is unreachable, do you mean you see a Cloudron 404 page (nginx) or the browser gives some DNS error?

    @Shaun-Snapp Don't worry, in the worst of case, you can access the DB with a Remote SQL app and change the values yourself, I had to do that once in a multisite installation (which Cloudron doesn't support changing the domain of - yet). Let us know if restarting the app reconfigures the domain and if not, we'll go to next steps.

    @Lonk Thanks. I tried the remove SQL approach, but failed.

    I did restart the app. But I tried it again just to make sure I covered that base. But it did not bring it back. It is still not responding.

    @girish I did see the 404 page before, but after restarting, and also changing the URL back to what it was through the Cloudron UI, I see the 502 Bad Gateway error.

    @Shaun-Snapp Usually, if it's a 5xx error, you will see some error in the app logs. Console -> Logs. Anything interesting there?

    What's strange is that the app doesn't seem to be running at all since there is no health check going on. Usually otherwise there is a CloudronHealthCheck in the logs every 10 seconds. Is the app stopped or in repair mode by any chance?

    @Shaun-Snapp Are you able to enable to enable remote access (Support -> Enable SSH) and reach out to me on support@cloudron.io ? I can take a look immediately.

    My error. I had the site stuck in recovery mode. It is back up now.

    I am back to normal. Thanks
