Hi Expert, everytime I open Putty, discourse ask for configuration initial data.
Like email’s admin, and smtp mail and so on,
how can turn it of?
AI-generated summary
The user smota is experiencing a Discourse configuration prompt every time they open PuTTY, which they believe is due to the installation method used on Digital Ocean. elijah questions whether the official Discourse install method was used, and mpalmer clarifies that the Digital Ocean setup is not the official method and has known quirks. smota asks if starting over with the official method is better, and elijah confirms this, advising a backup if there’s existing content.
Did you use the official Discourse install method or some other one, like the troublesome and unsupported Bitnami one?
That’s not our official install method, that’s something Digital Ocean put together. It’s not entirely terrible, but it does have its… quirks, like you’re finding. You’d be best off asking Digital Ocean support what’s going on. I believe hitting Ctrl-C will drop you out of the questionnaire, but I’ve never tried it myself.
so, its better to start from scratch, and follow your official method?
tell me and I will start again
Yes, the official way is better. If you have a forum with content already, then you should back it up first, to restore on the new install.
