I just setup a fresh install of drupal 7, ubuntu 16.04, installed php 7.0 and git cloned the drush repo which checkout of 8.1.9 drush. When I do a drush status on the docroot of my drupal folder it shows the following and when doing a drush dl it fetches only drupal 8 modules. 

 PHP executable         :  /usr/bin/php
 PHP configuration      :  /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
 PHP OS                 :  Linux
 Drush script           :  /vendor/drush/drush/drush.php
 Drush version          :  8.1.12
 Drush temp directory   :  /tmp
 Drush configuration    :
 Drush alias files      :  /home/ubuntu/.drush/hotsite.aliases.drushrc.php

enter image description here

When I used to run php 5.6, it would give me all the details of my install. What did I do wrong here?

  • You write that it works if you use drush @mysite status. Could you add the output above? – hansfn Aug 3 '17 at 5:54
  • it looks like this when doing drush status: prntscr.com/g3wh7y – Patoshi パトシ Aug 3 '17 at 14:08
  • Thx. Still a mystery. Please also post the content of the hotsite alias. And maybe the output of drush status --debug – hansfn Aug 3 '17 at 22:02

Drush usually does this when it cannot find a Drupal installation, which happens when it cannot find a settings.php. Did you go through the installation process yet? (visiting install.php on the browser or doing drush site-install)

  • yes i installed it and its verified working. i am however able to drush the site when i do it via alias like this: "drush @mysite status" --- why wouldn't drush detect the directory? i'm in it. – Patoshi パトシ Aug 3 '17 at 3:31
  • @duckx it's been that way for a while now, not sure which release of drush it changed in exactly. You need to be in sites/site_name or use an alias these days – Clive♦ Aug 3 '17 at 7:20
  • @Clive when doing a drush status in sites/default i dont get the status output neither, but works with an alias. I have drush 8.1.9 -- see: prntscr.com/g3wh7y – Patoshi パトシ Aug 3 '17 at 14:07
