Have now tried it x3 times but using it as a ‘setup on a new subdomain’ This works as expected but then it fails with the copying of the WP files & folders it’s looking for wp-cli.phar
So I get the following, and wp-cli.phar is present in none of the ‘parent’ directories so even though it fails the subdomain has the ‘Famous 5 Minute Install’ rather than the ‘clone’

Should be reproducible on MY system but interested to know if others are seeing this and it’s indeed a showstopper for me.
I also get the following via ‘Manage WebApps’ for the cloned site:
I hade the same issue. A plugin in WordPress was creating the issue: BBQ Firewall. It is based on 7G / 8G firewall, so the htaccess might be the issue too. I couldn’t figure out which rule so far. Maybe it might apply to your case too.
That’s really odd. It worked just fine for me, e.g.:

Could you provide more context about your WordPress instance? Did you install it via Virtualmin? Does the WP-CLI command exist in ~/bin or ~/public_html? What plugins do you have installed and enabled?
I go the issue on a ‘clean’ install of WordPress I will check again as I only have a few plugins installed but wp-cli.phar is NOT present on my installs.
Maybe one of the team or other users will be able to shed some light.
I installed via the Pro web apps panel. I’ll take a look at the plugins in a few minutes and post more detail. It’s a small install with a handful of plugins
root@manage:/bin# php wp-cli.phar --info
Could not open input file: wp-cli.phar

This output is su domain-user do I need to be root I am logged into WinSCP via root also I dont know if it’s important but these are subserver installations I am trying to clone?
For the domain in question, when you select it from the left menu and go to the “PHP Options” page, then click the PHP icon next to the PHP version—what does the page that opens show? Could you provide a screenshot?
Also, when using the File Manager module, again with the selected domain in question, do you see bin/wp? Could you provide a complete screenshot of the entire page if not?
Hi firstly thanks so much for the help and second I am sorry I reffered to this as a ‘bug’
When I carry out the 1st instruction it opens a phpinfo page showing php running as the domain user, I have just checked my other domains where WordPress is not installed and it shows the same eg PHP running as the domain user is that the expected behaviour?
With the file manager I can confirm wp is present in bin and the user:owner is domain user as above?
I was logged in as the master administrator account and have just noted that if I login as the virtual server user I have Master admin access, which should not be the case No?
No, if you log in as a virtual server owner, you must not have master administrator access. It would be helpful if you could share some screenshots, as the situation is unclear.
How did you install Virtualmin initially? Was it on a clean system? Did you make any custom modifications to users or domains outside of Virtualmin?
Well it was on a clean system and the ONLY change I made was to use Virtualmin to format & partition and mount a disk to my /home directory. I am going to take this as a lesson learnt and re-istall from scratch following this conversation as I would rather not post any identifiable info into a public forum and you have been more than helpful.
I MUST have done something but my normal procedure is to install / login and use Virtualmin to change my SSH port etc and then to add domains, honestly I only purchased PRO and setup a few days ago so it’s no huge issue and I can make substantive notes as I go.
Before I do would you consider taking a quick look if I sent you a PM? I understand thats a big ask but it may be something really staright forwrd I have done?
There was indeed a bug, @apidevlab! Thanks a ton for catching it. It’s been fixed and will be included in WP Workbench 1.0.7, as soon as @Joe has a moment to roll it out!
