Thanks for your reply Jay. OK, I have created a new VM and followed the steps in the article under Prepare new VPS. Now I am not sure what to do - do I continue to the steps under Copy files to new VPS? I wondering whether I’m doing a fresh install of discourse and then restoring the database from the old installation, or copying the discourse files over from the old installation? I’m thinking that if I just copy over the discourse files from the old VM then the issues might be replicated on the new VM, but probably I am misunderstanding something.
