Nothing happens at “Generate Static Files”

    When trying to generate static files, I get a single line in the debug log:
    [2021-09-28 13:32:01] [class-ss-plugin.php:260] Received request to start generating a static archive

    In Diagnostics, I have three fails:
    Checking if web server can read from Temp Files Directory: /opt/data/domain/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simply-static/static-files/ FAIL
    Checking if web server can write to Temp Files Directory: /opt/data/domain/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simply-static/static-files/ FAIL
    Checking if WordPress can make requests to itself from [IP address] FAIL

    I am running WP 5.7.3 and PHP 7.4 – which are both within the limits of what Simply Static should support.
    – I created the /static-files/ directory and opened permissions up to everyone during this process. So I don’t know why it says it can’t read or write to it.
    – I’ve checked to be sure cURL is installed and activated – which it is.
    – My site is accessible by the domain name and not only by IP or through a localhost, etc.

    Those are the only “answers” Ive seen given so far to these issues and none of them seem applicable in this case.
    I am out of ideas on how to get this to work. Anyone got any other ideas that I’ve not thought of? TIA

    I managed to fix the first two errors by copying my entire WordPress directory over from opt/data/domain/wordpress to /var/data/www/html so apparently you must have things in this exact directory to clear that hurdle.

    Still trying to figure out the “Checking if WordPress can make requests to itself from [IP address] FAIL”.

    changing to
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    Will fix the [IP address] FAIL

    @moroi I tried that but it didn’t fix the error.
