Hello. I’m hosting two forums on my machine, both are up to date (3.4.0.beta3-dev for one, and I can’t check the one that is unavailable) One of them has been updated earlier this week and stopped working suddenly about 2 days ago. Once logged in, a “Oops” message appears on every page. I went i…

Okay, I found the culprit, thanks for pointing me in the right direction about the filesystem. We run a virus scan and someone did upload something ont he forum that had a virus signature. As a result clamav removed the file. I’ll tune it better so it doesn’t quarantine postgres files anymore. Sorr…

This used to work? How long ago did you start? You’ve got two versions of a standard app.yml file each with its own Redis and postgres template and different paths to the data? One possibility is permissions. At some point the id of the user and group used s changed, but I’ve not seen that be a p…

Thank you for taking a look at my issue. Yep, this used to work until about 3 days ago. However, this morning I tried to run a backup in CLI from within the container and it failed due to a weird postgres error, so I suspect the database is corrupted somehow. Which isn’t at all relevant to the erro…

[image] AxelTerizaki: it failed due to a weird postgres error Did it fail on the backup or the restore? It would be helpful if you actually included the weird error,but if it was on the restore I suspect that it is the one described here: Restore failing with missing chat_mention function I…

It’s on the backup. pg_dump: error: Dumping the contents of table "posts" failed: PQgetResult() failed. pg_dump: error: Error message from server: ERROR: could not open file "base/16384/17044": No such file or directory Hence why I said I will try to restore a backup first to see if it solves the…

That does seem like a database problem. Have you restored a filesystem backup before? That sounds like the kind of thing that would happen if you made a file system backup while the database was running. It’s one of the reasons that I dint recommend filesystem backups. If you want to restore a dis…

I do filesystem backups but exclude postgres databases as I dump them instead. However I might have forgotten to exclude discourse’s folder, I’ll have to check that later on. Are the information in this thread still valid for my use case?

The stuff about how to get the backup where you need it seems unnecessarily complicated.

Great! Glad my hint helped! I’d never have thought of that, but I haven’t run virus software for a very long time.
