Magento2: The env.php file keeps automatically changing

Question

The file env.php is changing automatically and randomly.

Environment:

Cluster server

Deployer

Magento 2.4.6-p3

Redis, varnish and cloudflare

php 8.1

Here is the actual the env.php

 'session' => [
 'save' => 'db',
 'gc_probability' => 1,
 'gc_divisor' => 1000,
 'gc_maxlifetime' => 7200
],
'cache_types' => [
 'config' => 1,
 'layout' => 1,
 'block_html' => 1,
 'collections' => 1,
 'reflection' => 1,
 'db_ddl' => 1,
 'compiled_config' => 1,
 'eav' => 1,
 'customer_notification' => 1,
 'config_integration' => 1,
 'config_integration_api' => 1,
 'google_product' => 1,
 'full_page' => 1,
 'config_webservice' => 1,
 'translate' => 1,
 'vertex' => 1,
 'fishpig_wordpress' => 1
],
'http_cache_hosts' => [
 [
 'host' => 'xx.xxx.x.xx',
 'port' => 'yyyy'
 ],
 [
 'host' => 'xx.xxx.x.xx',
 'port' => 'yyyy'
 ]
],

On a random time of the day and randomly the env.php changes to this:

'session' => [
 'save' => 'Redis'
],
'cache_types' => [
 'config' => 1,
 'layout' => 1,
 'block_html' => 1,
 'collections' => 1,
 'reflection' => 1,
 'db_ddl' => 1,
 'compiled_config' => 1,
 'eav' => 1,
 'customer_notification' => 1,
 'config_integration' => 1,
 'config_integration_api' => 1,
 'google_product' => 1,
 'full_page' => 0,
 'config_webservice' => 1,
 'translate' => 1,
 'vertex' => 1,
 'fishpig_wordpress' => 1
],
'http_cache_hosts' => [
 [
 'host' => '127.0.0.1',
 'port' => '8080'
 ]
],

what has been changes is session, full_page, and http_cache_host.

Does anyone encountered a similar issue? what could be the cause of this problem?

Answer 1

Did you commit the file app/etc/env.php from your dev machine to your repo?

That file shouldn't be in your repository because it'll be different for each environment.

• Mohammed Alrefai: Hi Tom, I have the env.php in the .gitignore, I mean the file does not change upon doing pull from the repository.

Answer 2

Your Server setup have auto deployment system. I mean CICD or container jenkins system, if yes then you have to check container setup etc.

• Mohammed Alrefai: No there is no auto deployment system.
