I am able to run Coaster CMS via Valet, however when i deploy on forge: php artisan coaster:update-assets failed to work on forge.
I am getting an error that on 'php artisan coaster:update-assets' that it doesnt exists. All the other instructions I have done and it works on my local - however for this it doesnt.
Any idea? also i tried to use your read me and it tells me it is deprecated. echo "This script is deprecated, you should now run: php artisan coaster:update-assets \n";
I have also deleted the vendor and reloaded it on the forge server itself - same outcome.
Did you SSH in and run artisan to see if the command exists in the artisan commands listing? Maybe it wasn't published. How exactly did you install the project? I have never used Coaster CMS but have successfully installed Statamic, PyroCMS and AsgardCMS on Forge servers. Each has their on issues and usually involves not running composer install when cloned from the repo.
@ejdelmonico Yup - I tried running it and it tells me that the command doesn't exists.
According to CoasterCMS you are suppose to load the service providers and everything is fine (works on local / valet) but on forge server it refuses to get recognized
@ejdelmonico have you ever compiled a pro/con between the 3 CMS that you have installed so far that are laravel base? Im curious to see the differences between them
@beerbuddha NO, I haven't really compiled any list. I can say Statamic is extremely fast and requires no DB. PyroCMS is pretty good and Is very close to basic Laravel. The approach to building the site is just different. AsgardCMS is great. It's very easy to configure and theme. They all have a particular process for deployment...just google it or check the docs. Most of them state something on using Forge servers. I know for sure that you do not want to run composer for a Statamic deploy.
