Valet has problems with executing commands from another drive.

[luukhoeben]

Hey,

Everytime I try to run a valet command from my D drive in git bash, it says:
Could not start the phpfpmservice service. Check ~/.valet/Log for errors.

Only problem is that there is nothing in the logs..

I am running it as administrator, even in the default windows command prompt as administrator it doesn't work for some reason. When I try to run a command from my C drive it works, the problem is that I have a small boot drive (120GB SSD) so I can't really store much on there.

Is there any way to fix this issue?

Greetings,
Luuk Hoeben

You have to run all the Valet commands that restart a service from the C drive (eg: valet install, valet start, valet restart, valet stop).

But you can still run valet park folder / valet link folder from the D drive but if you want to secure a domain you'll have to run valet secure some-site from the C drive.

I had this same issue today, trying to secure a site on my D drive. As long as the powershell's current directory is in the C drive the valet secure command works, but if I was in the D drive it didn't. So the workaround is simple, but odd.

I also have this problem... I can execute everything from C drive. I have my Code folder on D drive. I successfully parked my Code folder from the D drive.

Running win 10

@cretueusebiu . First of all thanks for all the work you've put in the project.
I was going to suggest that if possible to include a note in the home page mentioning this small caveat as until reading this thread I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong :)

Thanks

You Need To Config Your Acrylic DNS

Not Only For Windows 10
I'm Using windows 7
Indeed It's Worked

@zymawy that link seems to be down. Could you please update the link or share what exactly you did to get valet secure site-name working?

I'm on windows 7 32-bit

[cretueusebiu]

@aditya43 valet secure should work without manually configuring your network.
Valet will try to configure your network automatically when you install it, but if it doesn't you can do it manually (Win7 and Win10)

Hi @cretueusebiu, I'm having problems once again after I upgraded. I get the previous phpftmservice error, but before that it doesn't seem to be able to start the acrylic service. I think that the previous installation might be interfering and valet uninstall doesn't seem to remove the whole instalation.
Is there any way to remove nginx, acrylic and any other service manually?

Thanks in advance,

Mauro

@mauroavello When you run valet stop and valet uninstall all services will be removed. Make sure to run these commands in a terminal with administrator access.

[mauroavello]

Something is not working....

and then after uninstall it's still there

Thanks

[cretueusebiu]

That error is thrown by the Acrylic service when you tried to uninstall it but it was never installed. Can't be prevented.

You can email me and I can take a look via TW.

Good deal @zymawy, that did the trick. Thanks a lot for your help.
I thought that I had removed all the stuff that you mentioned, but didn't work in the order or how I did it.
