On Dreamhost, Export Failed Due to PHP Version

1. On the remote server.
2. Open ~/.bashrd
3. Add this line, adjusting as appropriate: PATH="/usr/local/php74/bin:$PATH"

The problem was that PHP 7.4 was being added in ~/.bash_profile which is only for login shells. The export connects with a non-login shell and so the default php was getting loaded. By placing it in ~/.bashrc it gets loaded.

*Check to see if you are using a command that is prompting for user input, e.g. drush pm-enable ... will hang unless you have the -y flag. So the correct command within a processor is drush pm-enable -y ...

• You can see the output of processor if you use the developer command processor; that is a good way to see if there are any user prompts.
