Hi,
when trying to install discourse on Ubuntu 16.04 or OpenSUSE 42.2 I get the following error: [SUSE Paste](http://susepaste.org/898392)
Can you tell me what is broken there and how I can fix it?
Thank you,
Paktosan

Can you set:
```plaintext
LANG: en_US.UTF-8
```
on the app.yml and try again?

Thank you for the quick help! I was now able to create a clean installation where I was able to import a backup of my forum.
