hello there, my forum goes down every time i do ./launcher rebuild app. I have attached screen shot of what error it gives. [image]

If I’m understanding correctly, the error message says that there is a problem on line 9. Try typing this command: cat -n containers/app.yml That will print out the contents of the file with line numbers, and you can check line 9 for syntax errors. It would probably be a good idea to run that chmod command mentioned in the output too, though it isn’t related to the error.

Well, nano -l is much easier way to find right line and fix it right away :wink: If you haven’t change too much app.yml line 9 is just before templates: — can there be something strange as extra whitespace? But one thing I’ve learned about YAML is there can be a whitespace almost anywhere, missing space, missing quote or wrong type - and error is pointing to wrong place. I would say it is easier delete app.yml and do setup again.

[image] j127: cat -n containers/app.yml I have removed that line 9 items completely but still it says line 9 is syntax error.

how do i delete and rebuild it ?

is that gonna delete my forum data ? like posts and users and all that ?

No. But that’s why you have done full backup first. But you can give a try for this too: YAMLlint - The YAML Validator Validate, Verify and Reformat your YAML documents, optimized for Ruby on Rails

i have tried to validate YAML validation it says it all ok

Something it is. But you can copy&paste your app.yml here as it is. Then someone wiser could take a look. Because now no one knows what there is or is not.

I would first do backup, if there is some content. And after that:

cd /var/discourse
mv containers/app.yml .
./discourse-setup
