I tried upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9 but ./launcher rebuild app fails. Here’s some lines I think important: I, [2017-08-02T06:27:53.765784 #15] INFO -- : > cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' rake aborted!

Well, you could comment out the line that’s activating the plugin (line 27, by the look of it), or you could add gem 'rest-client' up the top.

You’re running a plugin (df-core, by the look of it) that needs to be updated to be 1.9 compatible. The rest-client gem got removed from core, so now plugins have to specify that themselves if they want it.

You are right. I actually don’t use it. I have cloned it in my own repo and commented most of it out to get around this error. Any advice on getting around any of these errors? How would I go about requiring the gem if that’s the easiest fix to get up and running?

Again, thank you. I killed line 27 and some lines below that and everything is back up
