Can you share what plugins you are using?

Am not really sure but I guess category moderator,
Am still new and still learning about the system, but its a system where we moderate jobs, trainings, tenders among others,

So it was demanding upgrade then I decided to click on the upgrade button

This is the site comms.southsudanngoforum.org

Hello and welcome @Habib :slight_smile:

Do you have access to the server so you can try an upgrade/rebuild from there?

You could also check your /logs page to see if there’s more information in there you could share - http://comms.southsudanngoforum.org/logs

Let me try to access and see,
But the link for logs is not opening or displaying anything

I ssh in server and tried to upgrade but it says that no such file or directory
But when I ls after entering discourse, it shows launcher in green and not blue

I’m not sure of the significance of the green/blue, but to upgrade from your server you would normally:

cd /var/discourse

./launcher rebuild app

Could give us a little more detail about your setup? Is it a standard install? And do you have any third-party plugins installed?

try this:

cd /var/discourse
ls containers

You should have either app.yml or web_only.yml.

Given that you have app.yml, you’ll then do this:

./launcher rebuild app

Yeah I can see that, but it now says that cannot connect to the docker demon - verify its running and you have access
