It was working fine before yesterday, when we moved to a new machine, which was fresh before we copied over the app.yml file to include our config.

Yes I am, and I’ll check the disk layout.

These are the disk mappings: volumes: - volume: host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone guest: /shared - volume: host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log guest: /var/log

Strange. I would enter the container and see what) whether that directory exists and if you can create a directory there.

[image] Pyx : when we moved to a new machine Did you copy (parts of) the /var/discourse folder to the new server? That might have messed with the permissions/owner.

We ran the setup script, copied the app.yml, and restored from backup. [image] Jay Pfaffman: Strange. I would enter the container and see what) whether that directory exists and if you can create a directory there. I will do that!

Are you running discourse as root? What is the disk mapping (in the app.yml)?
