Hi, I just received an email from discourse, proposing to upgrade from 2.7.0.beta1 to 2.7.0.beta2. I went to the admin page and clicked on upgrade, and it seems like something has failed. As a result, it is not possible to access my dicourse instance anymore (Error 500). I include here the final …

Your wish / hope @geoff777 did not help. I tried to login - and the discourse server was not responding. I decided to run discourse-doctor from the DO console, launched from PuTTY tool (I am running on a Windows 10 machine), - and my console stopped at the same place. Note this beginning of this r…

Both times you got that PuTTY Fatal Error? That seems like a putty problem, though I can’t imagine why.

Yes, @pfaffman I do get that same error.

It does not seem very likely, but I will create a support …

I guess I world try the digital ocean console next (actually, I would use a terminal in Ubuntu, but that’s not what I’d recommend to you).

I found that: resetting the root password (from …

Could you be running out of RAM and then having oom killer knock off some random processes such as sshd, thus disconnecting you and causing problems? There should be something in dmesg output, /var/log/messages or the journalctl output if oom killer is running.

I doubt that running out of RAM is my problem, it’s rather me stubbornly using PuTTY console instead of the DO console . So, I am going to switch to @pfaffman ’s suggestion above , particularly since my discovery that PuTTY console gets disconnected even when I am using it for something completely dif…

Ram could be it. Do you have swap?

[afbeelding] adriatic: PuTTY console gets disconnected Have you tried adjusting the keep alive setting, something like this ?

@pfaffman I did not specify anything - using all droplet defaults, relying on DO folks to ensure reasonable behavior. First, I am going to try to set the keep-alive as @omarfilip suggested above , then I will look at the swap space situation, followed by the @pfaffman ’s suggestion to use the DO orig…
