Transition Technology: Ticket #778: need access to Parrot

chris — Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:19:31 GMT

What sub-domain would you like? something.transitionnetwork.org? If so what is the "something"?

Do you need HTTPS for the site?

For now I have created a WP site which can be accessed here:

The script for automatically sending the login details to Annesley failed as the server's GPG private key had expired, I'll sort that out another time.

Annesley did you get a email with the WP login details? Let me know if not and I'll reset the password.

You should be able to login using SFTP to annesley@… and the site is in ~/sites/default and there is PHPMyAdmin access here:

https://parrot.transitionnetwork.org/phpmyadmin/

You can get the MySQL username / password from the wp-config.php file if you don't have them.

Sorry the script documented here ParrotServer#AddingaNewWordPressSite did work as expected -- this was because of the GPG issue.

hi chris,

got the SFTP connection up and running but am now getting a "Could not connect to host Socket error: Success." error message and SFTP is now failing.

the WP email did not contain the password: Username: annesley Password: The password you chose during the install.

thanks

Replying to annesley:

got the SFTP connection up and running but am now getting a "Could not connect to host Socket error: Success." error message and SFTP is now failing.

It looks like you had several password failures and then several public key authentication connections, then the deny hosts scripts picked up on the failures and added your IP to /etc/hosts.deny, I have now added it to /etc/hosts.allow so you should be able to connect OK using SFTP and public key authentication again.

the WP email did not contain the password: Username: annesley Password: The password you chose during the install.

I'll send you a new one off-list and also the MySQL passwd.
