Solved Restart stalled : error the wp-config file already exists

[benborges]

Hi, I'm not sure what's the problem here, since this managed WP was running just fine and has been for months fine, but I changed the allowed memory and restarted the app, only to find myself into this :

Now the restart cannot finish, it stays like this indefinitely.
I tried to move the wp-config out, it seems to restore a default wp-config but problems remains, anything I can do on my side to find the origin of this?

@benborges how did you do the edits and in what path?

also check file permissions.

@benborges the messages you see there are in a code path for a freshly installed wordpress. On first setup a state file is created at /app/data/.dbsetup which may be deleted in your case? If so just run touch /app/data/.dbsetup in a webterminal into the app (you may have to put it in debug mode first)

@nebulon That was it, indeed for some reason the .dbsetup file got deleted, strange that I remember to reboot this very app a few times in the past month's without this enfolding, anyway thanks for the tip !
