How to replace “default” with website name in drush

Question

When I run drush user-login username, drush prints a url like http://default/user/reset/1/32323933.... How do I replace default with the actual website name?

Answer 1

You can use option --url:

-l <http://example.com:8888>, URI of the drupal site to use (only needed in multisite environments or when running on an alternate port).
--uri=<http://example.com:8888>

$  drush uli -l yoursite.dev

Or create a record in your aliases.drushrc.php file:

$aliases['yoursite-dev'] = array(
  'root' => '/vhosts/yoursite.dev',
  'uri' => 'yoursite.dev',
);

Now you have an alias @yoursite-dev and can use it:

$ drush use @yoursite-dev
$ drush uli
