Hello, Having already done a merge of two forums in April, on a test server, which went very well. We decided to merge the two forums for good. Following my procedure of the time, I find myself with a connection error to Postgres, when launching the merge script. I’ve been at it for four days now, but not being a developer, I’m a bit limited in finding the problem. Thanks for advance Here is the error: discourse@serveur-app:/var/www/discourse$ IMPORT=1 DB_NAME=copyme DB_PASS=passwdDB SOURCE_BASE_URL=http://old.forum.fr UPLOADS_PATH=/var/www/discourse/public/uploads/default bundle exec ruby script/bulk_import/discourse_merger.rb Loading application...

This procedure is based on the original post and the problems encountered during my tests This procedure worked in April (see this topic). Start with updated backups of the two forums, Install a discourse, Import the two backups, Restore the forum to keep. In SSH : Go to the /var/discourse folder Enter the app ./launcher enter app. Create the DB. su postgres psql CREATE DATABASE copyme ENCODING='utf8'; Change the password of the postgres user \postgres password Exit postgres \q Exit the postgres user exit Switch to the discourse user su discourse OLD forum save decompression Go to the latter folder cd public/backups/default Extract the OLD backup via the command tar xvzf old.forum.tar.gz Copy from BDD.lu to BDD copyme. gunzip < dump.sql.gz | psql -d copyme Exit user discourse exit Dependencies nano, sqlite3 and mysql2 dependencies (with root user in /var/www/discourse) apt update && apt upgrade -y apt-get install -y nano sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev mariadb-server libmariadb-dev -y gem install sqlite3 mysql2 ruby bbcode to md git clone https://github.com/nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md.git cd ruby-bbcode-to-md/ gem build ruby-bbcode-to-md.gemspec gem install ruby-bbcode-to-md-*.gem cd ./..

I got the same error. Seems like the port is not being loaded in the DB configs here: discourse/script/bulk_import/discourse_merger.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub If you run that from a rails console: [1] pry(main)> ActiveRecord::Base.connection_db_config.configuration_hash => {:prepared_statements=>false, :adapter=>"postgresql", :database=>"discourse_development", :min_messages=>"warning", :pool=>5, :timeout=>5000, :checkout_timeout=>5, :advisory_locks=>false, :host_names=>["localhost"], :variables=>{}} The port is not in the config, but the code assumes it is: discourse/script/bulk_import/discourse_merger.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub While this is fixed in core, you can put the port manually, so instead of @raw_connection = PG.connect(dbname: local_db[:database], host: 'localhost', port: local_db[:port], user: 'postgres', password: db_password) use: @raw_connection = PG.connect(dbname: local_db[:database], host: 'localhost', port: 5432, user: 'postgres', password: db_password)

Hi, Postgres does use port 5432 (check via \conninfo in psql command), but I’m afraid in the connection.rb file it calls port 5433. The password is good checked with the command psql postgres://postgres:password@127.0.0.1:5432 Can anyone confirm that there is no error in the port? Thanks in advance

[תמונה] Constanza Abarca: @raw_connection = PG.connect(dbname: local_db[:database], host: 'localhost', port: 5432, user: 'postgres', password: db_password) Thnaks thanks thanks I tryed with port = 5432 but not port = 5432 by dint of having our head in the handlebars we miss things thanks again

Hello, Knowing that normally this is not a stain that must be repeated I don’t know if it would be useful.

Thanks @McFly for putting together a complete guide. This is helpful. Can all of these steps be automated? And create a cron job for it?
