So there doesn’t appear to be a solution for this issue.

I just installed Discourse a few days ago following the standard installation and everything has been working fine but apparently I can’t do a rebuild or install plugins.

When there isn’t a solution, what is the best practice? Make a backup of my Discourse instance and reinstall Discourse from scratch again?

And one other somewhat related question. I did the standard installation and it installed a beta version of Discourse. Wouldn’t it be better to have the standard installation install a stable version instead of beta or am I missing something?
