Hi,  
I am trying to import data from Phorum database. I have filled db data to the phorum.rb script (mysql name, pass, db name) and tried to run the script with: `ruby script/import_scripts/phorum.rb`

but it failed with this error:

```plaintext
/var/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:14:in `require_relative': cannot load such file --
/var/discourse/config/environment (LoadError)
from /var/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:14:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
from script/import_scripts/phorum.rb:3:in `<main>'

```

Have you any idea what am I doing wrong?

Thanks so much!
