Discourse Rebuild Failed to Bootstrap

Hi,

I just rebuilt my Discourse server but I am getting a Failed Error to Bootstrap:

Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 659 exit 1>
Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn'
exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"db_migrate", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'"]}
bootstrap failed with exit code 1

I tried to run Discourse Doctor but unfortunately, no luck. And a forum search for this particular error wasn’t found either :frowning:

Is anyone able to help me out, please?

Thanks in advance!

Please share more of your log - about 50 more lines from before the failure should be enough.

Once again, the 20 previous lines should show us what actually happened.

It’s possible your database is merely a bit slow to start. Perhaps you can edit /var/discourse/templates/postgres.template.yml where it has

  # give db a few secs to start up
  - exec: "sleep 5"

to make it sleep 60 or sleep 120.

It’s a one off breaking change. Sorry for the inconvenience

I believe I’ve now fixed the exception handler to print out a useful message.

Sorry you had to be the Guinea pig
