Using Command Lines Magento 2

Question

Dear Magento specialists,

I always had Magento 1 running. However for my new webshop I like to run Magento 2. I have installed Magento 2 using Installatron. I extracted theme files in the root directory. However I am trying to enable modules using command lines. My hosting provider enabled SSH. I have to connect through a different port 7685. I can login using SSH, but no command will work. Could you guys help me? Thank you.

If I try to execute a command using terminal I get always No such file or directory

Answer 1

You need to go to directory where Magento has been installed to run Magento commands. I.e. you need to execute:

cd public_html/

before running:

bin/magento module:enable Infortis_Base Infortis_Brands Infortis_Cgen Infortis_Dataporter Infortis_Infortis Infortis_Ultimo Infortis_UltraMegamenu Infortis_UltraSlideshow

command.

Please let me know if the problem still exists.

Answer 2

Try use the php bin directly:

php bin/magento module:enable Infortis_Base Infortis_Brands Infortis_Cgen Infortis_Dataporter Infortis_Infortis Infortis_Ultimo Infortis_UltraMegamenu Infortis_UltraSlideshow

If you still can't find it, try to find it using one of the following commands:

locate bin/php
whereis php

If you're still having trouble, contact your hosting provider to check if your user is allowed to run PHP in CLI and if so, which php binary you should call
