Can't get discourse working again

Juan_Carlos_B · February 16, 2020, 10:52am

Hi:
I’ve been running a Discourse for the last months with no problems.
I had to reset the host and now I can not get discourse working again.

You can examine the output of this script with 
LESS=-Ri less /tmp/discourse-debug.txt

BUT FIRST, make sure that you know the first three commands below!!!

Commands to know when viewing the file with the above command (called 'less'): 
q              -- quit
/error<ENTER>  -- search for the word 'error'
n              -- search for the next occurrence
g              -- go to the beginning of the file
f              -- go forward a page
b              -- go back a page
G              -- go to the end of the file

Make sure the settings highlighted by Doctor are correctly filled and not empty.

For example: DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: mydomain.com (note separator should be : not =)

You can check the syntax with an online YML validator: http://www.yamllint.com/

Juan_Carlos_B · February 16, 2020, 11:04am

that file was not modified at all … it’s same as it was when things were working
I’ve checked line by line, no errors …

Here you have:

## this is the all-in-one, standalone Discourse Docker container template
##
## After making changes to this file, you MUST rebuild
## /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app
##
## BE *VERY* CAREFUL WHEN EDITING!
## YAML FILES ARE SUPER SUPER SENSITIVE TO MISTAKES IN WHITESPACE OR ALIGNMENT!
## visit http://www.yamllint.com/ to validate this file as needed

## Uncomment these two lines if you wish to add Lets Encrypt (https)
  - "templates/web.ssl.template.yml"

## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?
## If you want Discourse to share a port with another webserver like Apache or nginx,
## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247 for details

  ## Set db_shared_buffers to a max of 25% of the total memory.
  ## will be set automatically by bootstrap based on detected RAM, or you can override
  db_shared_buffers: "256MB"

  ## can improve sorting performance, but adds memory usage per-connection
  #db_work_mem: "40MB"

  ## Which Git revision should this container use? (default: tests-passed)
  #version: tests-passed

env:
  LANG: en_US.UTF-8

  ## hostname (-h option) as specified above (default "$hostname-$config")
  #DOCKER_USE_HOSTNAME: true

  ## The http or https CDN address for this Discourse instance (configured to pull)
  ## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/14857 for details

Try with deleting the ' characters in hostname and developper emails

'XXXXXXXXXXXX'

Remah · February 16, 2020, 11:15am

Why this commenting out the command?

#expose:#
  - "80:80"   # http
  - "443:443" # https

It explains the error output:

cat: 80:80: No such file or directory
cat: 443:443: No such file or directory

Juan_Carlos_B · February 16, 2020, 11:16am

But I need those lines to be there !

Remah · February 16, 2020, 11:17am

Read what I said. You have added a #.

Arkshine · February 16, 2020, 11:18am

Should be:

expose:
  - "80:80"   # http
  - "443:443" # https

Remah · February 16, 2020, 11:47am

I didn’t make it that easy because someone needs to think how could such errors occur if this is true?
