I have installed a drupal 8.8 site using Composer on a Windows 10 pro system and docker and ddev as the development environment.
The drupal site seems to be functioning normally: I see no errors in the drupal log nor when I run ddev describe.
The only exception: Drupal gives me a warning that sites/default/settings.php needs to be write protected. In the past I have done this on a live site using Filezilla, but this is a development only site and it seems Filezilla does not apply permissions on local files--at least, when I right-click the file locally, I do not find a command for changing permissions.
I tried changing the write permissions with Windows 10 itself, but that did not seem to have any effect--I suspect for windows those are different kinds of permissions.
I poked around online and saw something that made me think I could use phpmyadmin to change permissions. Got caught up in that and struggled with it, until getting some help here (How to access phpmyadmin on DDEV Windows 10 pro localhost with SSL record too long error) but it turns out you can't change file permissions with phpmyadmin, apparently.
I tried to use the address that connected me to phpmyadmin in my browser to connect with Putty, but Putty tells me the host does not exist.
So the help I am looking for: how can I change file permissions for sites/default/settings.php in Windows 10 pro localhost running docker/ddev development environment for my drupal site?
Thank you!
I assume you're talking about this warning?
First, you can ignore this warning completely. You're on a local development environment, and so you shouldn't have any concerns about the permissions of settings.php.
Unfortunately, in a Windows environment, you can't make simple permissions changes as Drupal 8 is suggesting that you do.
Note that settings.ddev.php explicitly provides the skip_permissions_hardening option, $settings['skip_permissions_hardening'] = TRUE; to tell Drupal 8 not to try to change permissions on sites/default and sites/default/settings.php because it's just a dev environment and because when Drupal does these things it just makes things harder.
However, to make most things easier on Windows (doesn't solve that problem)...
Use nfs_mount_enabled
I see there are loads of problems with the new "official" Drupal 8.8.0 composer build on Windows. Most of them are due to the composer build making some assumptions about the ability to set time and ownership, but the docker mount used by default (CIFS) has everything owned by root, so the container can't change permissions (even thought they're wide open).
I found that I could get by all of these things by using NFS to mount into the container, and you'll also find it improves performance quite a lot. Set up for NFS by following the instructions at https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/performance/#windows-nfs-setup
This is a weird question, so bear with me while I try to explain it properly.
I have a Ruby on Rails app running on Heroku, with source code on Git. In my home, I have a Mac small laptop, and a Windows 7 Desktop PC.
What I want is to be able to work the code on RubyMine on my Windows machine. Because of many many shenanigans, working on Windows and then uploading to heroku just doesn't work.
Instead, I would like to download my code on my Mac, open it somehow from Windows (on LAN), and be able to run it on the Mac (from RubyMine on Windows), and open it in a browser from Windows.
I've been trying for several weeks now. Have anyone done this before? I know it sounds bizarre, but I really wish to work on my 3 monitors Windows setup.
You can let RubyMine use an SDK over SSH.
go to: File => Settings
select: Languages & Frameworks => Ruby SDK and gems
click the add icon (plus symbol)
choose: New remote...
select: SSH Credentials
fill in the host, username, password and path
After adding the remote SDK make sure it is selected as your project SDK.
edit
As #GujMil pointed out in the comments below, when running the application the Windows path is send as parameter to the Ruby SDK. After some fiddling I found that you can map the local path to the remote path in the SDK Configuration or Run/Debug Configurations.
go back to the SDK configuration (step 1 & 2 previous list)
click the Edit Path Mappings icon for your remote Ruby SDK (img)
add your path maps
For me the following was enough (using Linux instead of OS X):
+----------------+-------------+
| Local path | Remote path |
+----------------+-------------+
| //192.168.0.96 | /home |
+----------------+-------------+
For further info see: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/configuring-remote-interpreters-via-ssh.html
If your question sounds bizarre, so does my answer. I have experimented a similar setup with Linux servers.
Set up a shared folder to host the code on the Mac: Apple
instructions here
Access the folder over your LAN and edit the code in RubyMine.
Open an SSH terminal to your Mac so that you can remotely run the
Rails server, run necessary commands and view the logs (easy with
your multi-monitor setup)
Note: RubyMine will likely complain about missing gems.
I am using RabbitMQ. For some reason the rabbitMQ service stops as soon as you start it. I saw following error in the event log:
RabbitMQ: Erlang machine stopped instantly (distribution name conflict?). The service is not restarted as OnFail is set to ignore.
Someone told me to run this command: erl -sname rabbit
This command generates following output:

I am not sure how to interpret this output. I wonder the error is specific to RabbitMQ or erlang.
I have no idea how to procceed. Please suggest.
I have just run into this problem setting up RabbitMq as a service up on a new Windows server. The only thing I can think of that broke it for me is renaming the new windows box after installing the RabbitMq service, but before testing it for the first time.
First off I noticed it ran as an application fine. I solved it by installing the service again using the command from the manual install instructions:
rabbitmq-service install
Assuming that you have your path variables included for the RabbitMq sbin directory.
The only thing that worked for me was to clear the directory C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ.
(cf. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rabbitmq-users/138RHzzsORU)
In my scenario, Two directories of Erlang under C:\Program Files with different versions were there, I uninstalled one of the version, also uninstalled RabbitMQ service from Windows services list - Restarted the system.
Again ran RabbitMQ setup - RabbitMQ service was setup successfully.
I ran into the same issue when installing RabbitMQ 3.7.17 via Chocolatey on a Windows Server 2016.
After trying most of the suggested solutions, the one that worked for me was:
rabbitmq-service remove
rabbitmq-service install
rabbitmq-service start
PS: if your PATH is not configured for RabbitMQ, this is the folder you need to run the commands from: C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.7.17\sbin (if your version is also 3.7.17).
For anyone else looking up this error: double check your config files and SSL files. I ran into this issue when I had specified the ssl_options.cacertfile with ca.pem but the file was mistyped as ca-pem in the directory. Unfortunately RabbitMQ wasn't smart enough to catch the missing file and was dumping with no logs.
I found a name conflict with an env-variable, I use since years - means, this was not a problem with the previous version.
I have "Logs" and apps will write into that directory, usually with their own subdirectories. RMQ uses the same variable name and means a plain filename.
So using: "C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\log\log" made it working for me - this is in the rabbit's users private environment. So the global settings are now not seen by rabbit. Uff. And it looks like, this is really meant as a filename and after I changed it again to "rabbit#c4711-node.log", it writes like the earlier version. The service starts now for me - but this was really messy and I don't trust it at the moment ;-)
From my perspective, one should run such a service under its own account. If the service is already there, create a local user account - I've used "rabbit" and give it a password. The account I created, got admin right from me - but I currently just dont know, it this is needed. At least it should not - will see this later. If you have account/credentials, go to the service manager and click properties for the service. On the second tab ("log on"), check "this account" and enter username an password. If you have an account for the service you should be able to login with user.
Then you can specify environment variables with user scope.
To do this, logon with the user you created. Go to ControlPanel/System and click "advanced":
In the Environment UI, enter user specific variables
in the top panel:
Note: This was not my rabbit user, because I currently cannot login there. The variables, I entered - not guaranteed, it is correct - are the following:
RABBITMQ_BASE=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ
RABBITMQ_CONFIG_FILE=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq
RABBITMQ_LOGS=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\log
RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\log
RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.26.3
This works for me.
The last time I installed it - some years ago - it was better to understand - this time, sorry, I dont .....
But made it workig.
According to RabbitMQ Install on Windows guide here
Troubleshooting When Running as a Service
In the event that the Erlang VM crashes whilst RabbitMQ is running as
a service, rather than writing the crash dump to the current directory
(which doesn't make sense for a service) it is written to an
erl_crash.dump file in the base directory of the RabbitMQ server (set
by the RABBITMQ_BASE environment variable, defaulting to
%APPDATA%\%RABBITMQ_SERVICENAME% - typically %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ
otherwise).
Basically it means to add a Environment Variable named RABBITMQ_BASE with value %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ
This fixed my problem.
I ran into this issue and the only way I could solve it was by unintalling RabbitMQ, unsintalling Erlang, rebooting the server and installing a clean Erlang and a clean RabbitMQ.
After all this, I could finally install and start the RabbitMQ instance as a windows service.
Tried all the solutions in this post and nothing worked.
Lucky for me it was in our development server, so the loss was acceptable.
The downside to this approach is that you loose all configs (all users, virtual hosts, etc).
It's all gone and you have to reconfigure the RabbitMQ instance from scratch.
Checking in from 2021:
None of this worked for me, the problem was actually that I had another instance of RabbitMQ running inside my WSL Ubuntu distro.
I had the same issue and I just downloaded the latested version of erlang and RabbitmQ and this resolved the issue for me.
While I got the same error, and the root cause for me seems related to Erlang cookie, I fixed it by doing:
Create a folder to store cookie, for example I am using C:\erl-23.2\home .
Add new system environment variable HOMEDRIVE, set the value to C:\
Add new system environment variable HOMEPATH, set the value to erl-23.2\home
This is making use of the rule:
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Users%USERNAME%.erlang.cookie for user %USERNAME%) if both the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables are set
Since I was doing a migration when the error popped up, I still had my original .erlang.cookie in C:\Users\Me, but the new installation generated a new .erlang.cookie during installation in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile. After making them equal again and performing these steps from the sbin dir, it worked again.
rabbitmq-service remove
rabbitmq-service install
rabbitmq-service start
I had this today trying to install rabbitmq 3.8.0 with erlang 22.0 (64Bit).
Even completely re-installing both erlang and rabbit, deleteing all directories and registry did not help at all. Also i tried to set the needed PATH variables for erlang manually and re-installing the service each time.
The only solution working for me was installing another version of erlang. In my sepcific case i used erlang 21.3 in the 32bit version.
Doing that, no manually action was necessary and rabbit was up and running (after re-installing the service).
Is Vagrant a good solutions for creating a Rails environment in windows?
I have a powerful Windows 8 64bit desktop. I recently did a project with RoR and fell in love with it. As I found out, installing RoR on windows is just bleh; so I created a dual boot to ubuntu. As a creative developer, I find it rather difficult to get any of the "creative" done in ubuntu because of the lack of my typical creative tools.
I read a bit about a tool called Vagrant; however, I'm still unsure if it meets my requirements: adobe suite, sublime text, git, rails, rails friendly OS(mac?/ubuntu)
Typical duties: edit an image in photoshop(windows), drop it to project assets in VM?
Typical duties: push/pull to git; ssh to VPS server?
Also, I hear you can install mac os in the VM do you think thats a good option? (because I want to try their new OS)
Installing osx in Vagrant is probably possible but it would likely be quite hard, and its not really what vagrant is designed for.
As for your other questions vagrant sounds like the perfect fit.
With Vagrant you could start up an ubuntu vm and get your rails setup going. Then you could just forward a port on your local machine to the vm and load the rails site as if it were running locally on your windows PC. A quick google gets this vagrant box that looks like it might work for you - https://github.com/amaia/rails-starter-box
To work with the site you can just share a folder between the vm and your local machine which will allow you to edit images and code with your windows apps (Photoshop, sublime) so you don't actually need to install these in the ubuntu vm at all, and can pretty much work as normal.
Git is much the same... I prefer to SSH into the vagrant box and use git on the command line in ubuntu but you can just as easily use gitbash or tortoisegit from windows in the repo folder... works just as well.
A good alternative is, https://github.com/fgrehm/ventriloquist
"Ventriloquist combines Vagrant and Docker to give developers the ability to configure portable and disposable development VMs with ease. It lowers the entry barrier of building a sane working environment without the need to learn tools like Puppet or Chef."
