Hi, I am trying to import data from Phorum database. I have filled db data to the phorum.rb script (mysql name, pass, db name) and tried to run the script with: ruby script/import_scripts/phorum.rb but it failed with this error: /var/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:14:in `require_relative…

I finally managed to find time to set up development installation and import worked perfectly. Thanks!

Have you installed the mysql2 gem? It’s not in our Gemfile since we use postgresql. You can install with gem install mysql2.

Yup, I have installed that (it was first thing I have done, import script showed different error and it was clear that mysql2 was missing).

Ok, pinging @techAPJ since he wrote it. He might be able to help you out.

Are you running the import script on production server? If yes, can you confirm you’re running import script like this: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/phorum.rb

Did you delete the Gemfile? Try running cd /var/www/discourse git reset HEAD --hard or recreate your Docker container.

I tried: git reset HEAD --hard git pull ./launcher rebuild app bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/phorum.rb as root Still no Gemfile. I forgot to mention that I always have to modify launcher, because it detects uppercase characters, spaces or special characters in app, so I just comment ou…

Sincerely, it would be much easier for you to set up a development environment and run the import there rather than in a production server.
