Hi, I dont know why this is so but havent seen anything more on the internet so it may be a small issue with discourse Running ./discourse-setup gets the web server running and it says I need further configuration, refreshing then just shows an error again Also, how do I “restart” discourse incase a server shuts off?

Which cloud provider are you with?

I dont really use a cloud provider

A production install on a vmware environment.. Im not sure if that changes anything really

I think you may have discovered that it does. I highly recommend you use a cloud VPS using the standard install. It takes all of 30 minutes to set up, if that and you will get much more efficient support on here.
