Envoyer deploys successfully to existing site, but updates are not going live.

Hi there.

I have a quick question regarding Envoyer. I have an existing site that I deployed with Envoyer that is working fine.

Yesterday I pushed an update to my repo and redeployed via Envoyer which was successful but the site is not updating at the domain.

I have checked the 'current' folder on the server and the new version is there.

I am wondering if the problem is the TTL on my DNS (domain is pointed to server via MX Records) but I do not have that much experience with this so I am not sure what the possible reasons are for the new deployment not going live.

Any guidance will be appreciated thanks.

I managed to get this sorted. Turns out I had to restart my services in Laravel Forge.

Anyone perhaps know why Envoyer does not do this on deploy? I think it might have something to do with php-fpm but not sure.

Thanks again.

I have had the same issues on several sites. Usually, a nginx restart fixes the issue. This issue just popped up about a week ago for me. I host on Digital Ocean with Forge and Envoyer...pushing from Github.
