Hi guys, I’m trying to ue the vanilla_mysql.rb importer script to migrate my shitty forum to the awesome discourse platform. :slight_smile: However, when I execute the commands this happens: root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse# gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby Building native extensions. This could take a while… Successfully installed mysql2-0.4.6 1 gem installed root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse# bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb:1:in require': cannot load such file -- mysql2 (LoadError) from script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb:1:in ’ root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse# What am I doing wrong / how can I fix it? :frowning: I’m using the default docker container on a clean ubuntu 16.04 vps.

Try this inside the docker container: apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libmysqlclient-dev su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle install --no-deployment --without test --without development --path vendor/bundle' su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb'

Thanks for your reply. Here is a short version of my output: **root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse#: su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle install --no-deployment --without test --without development --path vendor/bundle'** [[....]] An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.4.6), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.4.6'` succeeds before bundling. **root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse#: exec ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb'** Could not find gem 'mysql2' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile. Run `bundle install` to install missing gems. **root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse#: bundle install** [[....]] Bundle complete! 96 Gemfile dependencies, 175 gems now installed. Gems in the group development were not installed. Bundled gems are installed into ./vendor/bundle. **root@discourse-app:/var/www/discourse#: su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb'** Could not find gem 'mysql2' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile. Run `bundle install` to install missing gems. :confused:

You need to install a dependency for it to work. I guess it’s missing. apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libmysqlclient-dev

Thank you so mutch Gerhard! :slight_smile: It worked, I owe you.

Hi I am facing this same situation but I am having trouble issuing these su discourse -c commands, they ask me for a password. I don’t think I created this user, it comes with the Docker container, so how do I get its password? Or how do I avoid being asked for one? Thanks!

Is this a development install, an install from the standard guide, or something else? If it’s from the standard guide you shouldn’t be prompted for a password when using su discourse -c from within the container.

Thanks, your confirmation that I “shouldn’t be prompted” sent me searching again, this time in a slightly different direction… And I solved it! I was using a scripted command to enter the container that had slightly different options than the standard ./launcher enter app. One of them (maybe the absence of the --login option?) was causing this difference in behavior. Anyway I am going to make sure I always use ./launcher going forward, there’s lots of stuff in there. Once again, thanks for your answer.

Another tip that might be useful for anyone else coming into this thread: Using that command given above with IMPORT=1 will trigger this part of your Gemfile: if ENV["IMPORT"] == "1" gem 'mysql2' gem 'redcarpet' gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.3.13' gem 'ruby-bbcode-to-md', github: 'nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md' gem 'reverse_markdown' gem 'tiny_tds' end I ran into problems with the installation of tiny_tds, and then with another thing it depends on called FreeTDS. After some wasted time on this I realized these are useful only for MS SQL imports, which I won’t be using, so I simply commented out the tiny_tds line in my Gemfile. (it would be nice to have a comment in front of each of those packages saying what they are used for, if anyone knows)

Hi. I’m having the same trouble here when running this script but those commands are not helping… This is the output I get when trying to run the su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb': root@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx-app:/var/www/discourse# su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/snuffhouse.rb' You are trying to install in deployment mode after changing your Gemfile. Run `bundle install` elsewhere and add the updated Gemfile.lock to version control. If this is a development machine, remove the /var/www/discourse/Gemfile freeze by running `bundle config unset deployment`. The list of sources changed The dependencies in your gemfile changed You have added to the Gemfile: * mysql2 * redcarpet * sqlite3 (~> 1.3, >= 1.3.13) * ruby-bbcode-to-md * reverse_markdown * tiny_tds * csv

Hiya, I’ve got this sorted and forgot to reply here. The thing is, I was trying to run a migration script for a forum that uses mysql and facing some errors. But I just followed the following steps and it has worked fine: Inside of your docker-machine where Discourse is running: # Enter the project directory cd /var/www/discourse # Install MySQL deps apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libmariadb-dev # Install MySQL gems (export = 1) su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle install' # Run your script (vanilla_mysql in this case) su discourse -c 'export IMPORT=1; bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla_mysql.rb' I’ve just done this in a new machine that I had to pull up and it worked as fine.
