I just tried to do a restore on a web_only container and it whines that it can’t load thor when it tries to load_rails. (If you don’t actually try to restore, it doesn’t fail --and OMG, how awesome is it that it suggests filenames and you can then copy and paste from a list!!! :+1: I don’t know how…

Try bundle exec script/discourse?

No joy with bundle exec. Then it can’t connect to the database. And I tried doing a gem install thor first, but that didn’t solve it either. And I also tested it on a plain old single-container install. (I didn’t think that was it.) It used to work: Is there any way to restore your site from bac…

So if you run discourse restore with no arguments, it prints something like this: You must provide a filename to restore. Did you mean one of the following? script/discourse restore ipb-import-2017-08-23-165728-v20170605014820.tar.gz script/discourse restore ipb-import-2017-08-22-180715-v201706050…

I think it would be better if we figure out what the current path is and suggest the appropriate command. Running script/discourse is right if I’m in the /var/www/discourse directory.

[image] pfaffman: Have you done that recently? That’s where I discovered this problem, and why I started the thread. This is for enable_restore, but it’s the same can’t-load-rails problem. bundle exec script/discourse is the solution here. The second problem is because you were running bundle…

So I guess that script/discourse works in a development environment and the discourse wrapper works in production? Is there a way for the script to tell? And, really, this is a fringe feature that tens of people will probably ever use. In production, running discourse instead of script/discourse w…

I had a similar error while trying a restore in 3.1.0.6. d/shell sudo gem install thor solved the missing thor dependency for me. But it was a long way to restore a backup by command line: Downloading archive to tmp directory... EXCEPTION: Failed to download archive to tmp directory. This was…
