Environment Variable siteURL ignored

Question

In my general.php file I have a siteUrl environment variable declared:

'ontherocks.dev' => array(
    'devMode' => true,
    'environmentVariables' => array(
        'siteUrl'  => 'http://local.ontherocks.dev/',
    )      
),

'dev.livesite.com' => array(

    'environmentVariables' => array(
        'siteUrl'  => 'http://dev.livesite.com/',
    )       
)

But when calling it on my page to get page url: siteUrl ~ entry.url siteUrl is appearing as it is defined in the Craft CMS General Settings SiteUrl. Is it possible for the environment variable to take precedence?

Answer 1

In your Control Panel, go to Settings > General.

Then set your Site URL to {siteUrl}.

This will parse out the siteUrl environment variable. For more information, see this thread...
