Error "relation 'users' does not exist" when installing discourse

Hello,

I am trying to install a new discourse on a clean server but I get this error:

This is definitely a bug, I tried on multiple servers with different OS versions.

Probably it is something with the current version of discourse

it alway end with this message error:

Possible, @tgxworld?

To confirm as of 4:47PM, the error:

Does appear during an install, but the build succeeds.

That’s the full recommended install, with domain name specified (IP address based install not supported), SMTP details provided, and Let’s Encrypt enabled.

  • Did you add any files to your install between git pull and ./discourse-setup?
  • Did you add any plugins before completing the build at least once?
