Running drush dis varnish in the Drupal directory gives give me this message.

Command pm-disable needs a higher bootstrap level to run.

Running drush --debug dis varnish -y gives the following output.

Phar detected. Proceeding to drush_main().

Command pm-disable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command.
The drush command 'dis varnish' could not be executed.

drush status and drush updb work. The output of the first command is the following one.

  • You should post the output of drush status. That does provide some more information and we can tell what "work" really means.

  • Does this only happen with the varnish module? (You probably have some other module that you can enable and disable for testing.)

This generally means that drush can't identify the site information, e.g. which settings.php to use.

A quick fix is to cd into the directory with the setting.php file for the site.

A more permanent fix is to create a site specific drush alias for the site and use it. E.g. drush @mysite dis varnish. See this Drupal page.

  • Neither of those are working for me.

  • drush status and drush updb work though.

  • Hmm, I'd check the logs for errors. This might indicate an error in the varnish uninstall script. Also, does varnish show up in a drush pml list? Another way to make sure you're using the right site.
