Problem

You encountered this error when running 'drush cim':

1Site UUID in source storage does not match the target storage.

As mentioned, UUID no longer match. To fix, get the UUID in config/sync directory, something like below:

1awk '{for (I=1;I<=NF;I++) if ($I == "uuid:") {print $(I+1)};}' sites/default/config/sync/system.site.yml

and assuming you get this value:

1d5835485-ed5e-433a-b782-41eca3ef7727

Set that to current installation as follows:

1drush cset system.site uuid d5835485-ed5e-433a-b782-41eca3ef7727 -y

Rerun 'drush cim'
