Hi! I am running an Ubuntu 18.04 server with Apache installed. I am wanting to install Discourse on a different port then use a reverse proxy via apache to make it accessible via a URL. I tried making an app.yml & changing the settings in there then ran: ./launcher rebuild app and everything goes w…

[image] kianwalters05: JavaScript heap out of memory Your server doesn’t have enough RAM to install Discourse. What is your memory and swap capacity?

Can you [image] kianwalters05: please scroll up and look for earlier error messages ? We really need to earlier log lines in order to provide any meaningful help.

Just attached them, sorry :slight_smile:

It has 8GB memory and 10GB swap. By the looks of it my system isnt using swap.

Are the current application using all available memory and swappiness configured to never happen? Since I don’t see any other reports I think it’s something on your server.

Hi! I have 8GB memory, 10 GB swap. Im running ./launcher rebuild app and the RAM is sat at 3.4GB RAM and no swap. Im using htop and swap just says OK/10.00G. Not sure if this means swap is working or not.

on HTOP swap says OK/10.00G. Not sure what this means. And the RAM is sat at 3.4G ish whilst running ./launcher rebuild app.

I think it has worked. I closed Clamd with sigterm using htop. The end has a docker ID. So im guessing its worked. Edit: Seems to be working fine. I have loaded it via IP and port and it shows up fine! Just gotta setup the reverse proxy and its all done. Thanks for the help @Falco & @pfaffman …

If you don’t receive the test email at /admin/email it’s not right . You can change the SMTP setting in the app.yml and fix any mistakes.
