Hello all

I know this is covered lots but I just can't get this to work as expected.

My host is Site5. The following returns the correct information form the server when run from my local machine.

drush thedesig@thedesignshop.biz/home/thedesig/public_html status

Drupal version         :  7.12                       
 Site URI               :  thedesignshop.biz          
 Database driver        :  mysql                      
 Database hostname      :  localhost                  
 Database username      :  thedesig_drpl1             
 Database name          :  thedesig_drpl1             
 Database               :  Connected                  
 Drupal bootstrap       :  Successful                 
 Drupal user            :  Anonymous                  
 Default theme          :  bartik                     
 Administration theme   :  seven                      
 PHP configuration      :  /usr/local/lib/php.ini     
 Drush version          :  4.4                        
 Drush configuration    :                             
 Drush alias files      :                             
 Drupal root            :  /home/thedesig/public_html 
 Site path              :  sites/default              
 File directory path    :  sites/default/files

So I have set up an alias as follows

$aliases['live'] = array(
  'root' => '/home/thedesig/public_html',
  'uri' => 'thedesignshop.biz',
  'remote_host' => 'thedesignshop.biz',
  'remote_user' => 'thedesig',
);

Running drush @live status returns

PHP configuration     :                                                                      
 Drush version         :  5.1                                                                 
 Drush configuration   :                                                                      
 Drush alias files     :  /Users/alex/Sites/thedesignshop/sites/all/drush/aliases.drushrc.php

I must be doing something wrong but I can't work out what!

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks
A

It looks like you have some variable naming issues. Take a look at the example alias file packaged with drush. For example remote_host should be remote-host and likewise remote_user should be remote-user.

In D7 I believe uri should be the site URL as well and not just the name, so instead of 'thedesignshop.biz' try 'http://thedesignshop.biz'

The "_" "-" fixed the problem... Don't know how I missed that?!

Many thanks
