The abandoned 3rd party vv cli tool can cause lots of issues when using with VVV 2 and above. We do not recommend using the vv tool.
Host Issues When Using The vv Command
The problem is that vv doesn’t add hosts to the config/config.yml file, so you need to add the site and its hosts to the config/config.yml file then reprovision. If you don’t do this, VVV will be unaware that the site vv tried to set up exists.
vv doesn’t fully support VVV 2+, and a lot of its features were integrated into VVV 2 making the tool unnecessary. The vv project has also been abandoned by its maintainers.
Nginx Configs
Normal VVV sites have an nginx config in the provision folder called vvv-nginx.conf, or a template that creates one on provision. It gets copied into the right place when VVV provisions, but vv doesn’t use this, and puts the configs in place manually. This can cause problems when following instructions, especially when changing site domains and URLs.
You can get around this by going into the virtual machine, and copying the config to your sites folder under a provision subfolder, then deleting the original and reprovisioning.
How Do I Add New Sites Then?
Using the custom site template and the config. All you need to do is edit the VVV config file at config/config.yml. See the Adding a new site section of this site for a walkthrough.
