Hi! I just ran the automated update on our Discourse instance a few days ago (it’s in a docker container). Now it’s dead in the water - when you go to the site it shows the “Oops” message.

I used “tail shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log” to get the following log output:

Job exception: can not load translations from /var/www/discourse/config/locales/client.en\_US.yml: #\<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb\_sysopen - /var/www/discourse/config/locales/client.en\_US.yml\>

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Regards,  
Pietro

A rebuild is probably what you need.

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse 
./launcher rebuild app

```

Thanks, Jay. Will the existing forum content / posts remain intact? If so, I’ll give it a try…

That worked - thanks! (after running the command once, it prompted me to run it a second time, and then the forum was online again).

Best wishes,  
Pietro

This was a complicated upgrade that included a [PostgreSQL 13 update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/postgresql-13-update/172563). That kind of upgrade usually happens less than once a year. You’ll need to do a command line upgrade about 3 times a year.
