Hi I am using chef for deployment automation of a wordpress site where in I need to read database, host, username and password from my shared.yml for wp-config.php so I am trying below code in my template file

<?php
define('DB_NAME', '"<%= @database %>"');
define('DB_USER', '"<%= @username %>"');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '"<%= @password %>"');
define('DB_HOST', '"<% @host %>"');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
?>

however the interpolation isn't taking place in where it should take actual values that are defined in _shared.yml. My attributes in chef looks like below.

default[:example_wp][:database][:host]          = ""
default[:example_wp][:database][:adapter]       = "mysql2"
default[:example_wp][:database][:database]      = "wordpress"
default[:example_wp][:database][:username]      = "wordpress"
default[:example_wp][:database][:password]      = ""

Can someone help with interpolation that I am trying.

Thanks.

@coderanger Why? It's on topic here, not there. – Michael Hampton Mar 22 '17 at 01:50
Because the vast bulk of Chef questions, and thus people that answer them are on SO. Just compare the tag activity here vs. there. As you can see in my answer there, it's definitely a programming topic :) – coderanger Mar 22 '17 at 02:01
