FAQs

This page details the FAQs that are specific to Front End Hosting - Basic.

How do I configure the acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file?

The Front End Hosting - Basic offering supports both .yaml and .yml extensions.

To configure the acquia_config file, insert the following configuration details at the root level of your acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file:

output_directory: "out/"
root_directory: "./"

To avoid syntax errors, ensure that you add new properties or settings in the yaml format.

How do I configure the output directory for Front End Hosting - Basic applications?

To configure the output directory for Front End Hosting - Basic applications:

  1. In the root directory of your project, locate and open the acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file.

  2. Configure the output_directory parameter to specify the output directory.

    The following are the ways to specify output directory formats:

    • Output Directory at SVN Repo Root Directory:

      To set the output directory at the root of your SVN repository, use the following format:

      output_directory: "output_dir"

    • Output Directory with absolute directory path relative to acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml:

      To set the absolute directory path relative to acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml for the output directory, use the following format:

      output_directory: "./output_dir"

    • Nested Directory path:

      If the output directory is within other directories, use the following format:

      output_directory: "path/to/output_directory"

What is the importance of providing additional parameters in the acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file?

Providing necessary parameters or ensuring that the artifact is in the default directory is important. If you do not provide additional parameters in the acquia_config.yaml or acquia_config.yml file, the Front End Hosting - Basic application defaults to searching for the SSG artifact within the html directory. If the application does not find the artifact in the html directory, the deployment fails.
